| Hello again guys, i heard some rumours that if i want to OC my system, i have to use SATA3 and SATA4 instead of 1-2. Because the lock isnt working properly on sata 1 and 2? Is this true? Greetings! |

| I don't believe so. I've got all the updates from winupdate but don't have this hotfix.

One very important note to help with the clarifications. There are only two type of controllers, compatible or native mode. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device...e-modeATA.mspx. What is really misconstrued is the fact that many will say “native” SATA and not know that they are incorrect. You are very close but not fully descriptive and correct about your RAID statement. The controller can be SATA, or SATA RAID. Many of the SATA RAID controllers have the ability to be toggle between either mode of RAID or non-RAID, but not all and the user needs to be aware the specifics. The VIA 8237R and the ICH5R are excellent examples of the defined terms. The 8237R is an SATA RAID controller only. To use any SATA device with this controller you will have to use the RAID (SCSI miniport) driver, even if you are not to use any RAID functions. This includes not ever having to install the RAID software. This means that the 8237R can be used in RAID or non-RAID configurations, but the RAID driver must be installed (q.v. F6) for any use of an SATA drive. The ICH5R is a hybrid controller. It can be placed in SATA RAID/RAID ready or in SATA mode. The only time a driver is necessary for the ICH5R is if the controller is to be used in RAID or RAID ready mode. When in SATA the third channel will be used and the basic IDE loaded. Contrary to belief the chipset utility will install the PnP filter ID and load the proper IDE driver integral within Windows. Some vendors have provided SATA drivers which will use the SATA DMA timing. An example of this is the nForce core logics. Vista will be true SATA capable. The interfacing layers will not be through legacy DMA drivers and timings. It will be through SATA DMA timed drivers. To note many of the SATA RAID controllers used the SCSI miniport driver interface. I have often thought about creating an installation guide, but the most important part that I wish many DIY's to be educated in is the BIOS. There are so many pertinent settings that should be enabled or disabled before installation of any operating system. Luckily, the newer system are compliant to the standards that such is unnecessary, but some motherboard manufactured when performing BIOS coding will go from standards and the typical model sent to their own version. This is normal to do some modifications, but some will go even further than the normal few. Some good examples are Abit, Asus, and DFI. Sometimes the modifications are due specifically because of ASIC's. To do a real installation guide would be difficult, IMO. You can cover many bases but never have the full effect of what is necessary. Much of the information I have seen is so far from the truth it is despicable. I often think about how to solve this and the only conclusion I have come to is for things to intelligently managed themselves and would not need user input. But you will always need user input. Standards are made and made to work with each other, but does not mean that the compliant devices will functions with each other. | |

| The A8V uses the 8237R for the south logic, and the p4C800-E uses the ICH5R. Read my post above yours. |
