Test System: 925X And ICH6

So far, the market offers only few controllers that support Command Queuing. One option would be Promise's FastTrak TX4200, supporting both Command Queuing options. However, we used conventional hardware combined with Intel's the 925X chipset and the new Southbridge ICH6, also supporting Command Queuing. For a motherboard, we used Asus' P5AD2.
