Dan, <the disk controller on the 761 might not be the greatest and that the disk drivers are still being tweaked.> The IDE controller must be simply standard. They did reasonably well with 750 chipset. If you owe the IDE design, it must be trivial for a normal architect to maintain registers compatibility, therefore there should be no problem with software driver. In AMD's own setup, amd.com they used SCSI-160 external controller with 15k rpm drive, and it does not seem to help much either. Therefore I am afraid I am not kidding... Regards, - Ali
