new mobo is SATA

[matt_the_wig]

morning guys,

Quick question. currently upgrading my PC and got my eyes on a new mobo.

939 Mobo (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=66708)

on my current board the HD's are ide, is there anyway I can keep them? don't want to go to the trouble of installing all my programmes again (yet)

I would like to use my old drive for now and look at transfering the data to a SATA drive when prices go down/capacities up.

Thanks for your help

Matt

I see two PATA connections on that mainboard, it can handle up to 4 PATA decives. So if you have 4 or less PATA hard drives, you can still use them.

didn't see any mention of IDE ports on the ebuyer review, but just downloaded the manual and it does :D

Make me a hapy boy, already got it ordered :D

Thanks for the help.
