you can use a raid or a non raid sata card... but if you get a raid one, you have to disable its raid feature in the bios settings.

the via vt6421L from newegg is the preferred choice, there are 2there, get the cheaper 1.

Non raid, 10 dollars.

Or you can get the raid one

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815124023

for 15 dollars... i dont know, if you ever want to combine sata hard drives to run as 1 massive harddrive, get this raid card... but if you're happy with IDE hard drives, and never want to combine sata hard drives.... then stick with the non raid...

Enjoy

nope, i take it all back..


of course it will, slax might not, as its very selective with hardware configuration, but cross wire method is easier.
