I have a server used as a desktop computer with the server board se7525RP2. It has two 800MHz Xeon processors and 6GB of memory PC2-3200. In addition, it has a 650 watt power supply, and I am running XP 64 bit. It currently has an old PCI video card (ATI 9250) and the board only has two sata connections. I would like to add a sata card and upgrade the video card so that the computer is more useful as a multimedia center.
I attempted to add two Sabrent sata cards that the board couldn't communicate with. I also tried to add an HD 5670, but couldn't find drivers the motherboard would support, and all I got was pastel colors. Could someone please help me achieve my goals? Here is a link to the specs on my board.

In addition, would you please recommend a sata card and a video card that would work with this board, because I am stumped.
Thank you
