Advice on this mobo

[fedz]

Dont know any thing about gigabyte so I need advice on this
GA-8S648FXl (http://www.dabs.com/uk/channels/components/motherboardsandaccessories/productView.htm?quicklinx=2QNZ)
Any problems? Is one IDE cable enough?
Advice appreciated

You asked for advice - and mine is not to buy that board. Gigabyte quality is too variable in my opinion and that board has a SiS 648FX chipset, which in my opinion is not a good chipset.

If you buy it, you need an 80 wire Ultra ATA cable for your hard drives on the primary channel, and a 40 wire standard IDE cable for your optical drives on the secondary channel.

Thanks GLC, advice from you always appreciated!!;)
ide cable comes with it, so only the ata needed
anyone else?
