Xe|oN Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 There seems to be a lot of hype about serial ata going around at the moment and it has made me think - should I stop buying hdds until this new standard is released? Does anyone know if new motherboards/chipsets with serial ata will still have support parallel ata drives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 yeah, from what i see, we should start seeing in standard in the fall on newer motherboards, these board will still have IDE as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonMEGA Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Serial ATA is backwards compatible with the use of an adapter.... http://www.highpoint-tech.com/rr1520.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xe|oN Posted July 16, 2002 Author Share Posted July 16, 2002 Sweet, think I might wait for Serial ATA motherboards before upgrading to a P4. I'd rather have it onboard than through a PCI card anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
