Sorry I just hit the send button too fast.
The link I send shows an Abit board with 2 IDE connectors........for 2 hd
and 2 dvd drives......plus 4 SATA connectors for future expansion.
I bought a Gigabyte board with the same chipset.......the Abit was not in
stock at that time.
The 650 chipset boards all have almost the same connections...which is why I
bought one.I needed the 2 IDE connectors for 2 DVD burners and the SATA for
the HDs.
So far I am running 2 SATA drives(RAID),one IDE HD,2 IDE DVD burners
,,,,,,,,,,and have a SATA DVD burner on the way.

The only catch to the 650 chipset is that northbridge runs hot.....so if you
are aiming to overclock look at a cooling solution for that NB heatsink.
As I sit here on an evening with an outside temp of 30/32 and a room temp of
about 28 my system has an Internal case temp of 33 and that NB is at 73.
I am OCing my E6420 to 8x400 with some major voltage increases and the CPU
cores are running at 38/39 with a Thermalright HR-01 heatsink on it with a
1600RPM Fan pushing 63CFM of air out to the back exhaust fan.
Before I overclocked that NB heatsink on the Gigabyte board was 64
Celsius...so you can see it went up..up..up.
I ahve a fan on order to point at the NB sink to help cool it down.
Let me know if you decide to buy...I would like to compare NB heatsink
temps.
