another mainboard suggestion: the abit at7-max2

I have been testing Seagate Sata 120 GB sata150(8 mb cache) against another Seagate IDE133 8mb cache about 14 days, and found that it was about 12% faster on the same mashine with ONE disk, but add 2-4 disk, and you will see a REAL boost.
At 4 disks it was almost 2 times faster - and the diskprice is almost the same (and non of those big wide cables
)
