I have a Gigabyte Ga-K8NSC Mobo. I got it for it's Sata ability. My question is do most newer Mobo's that have the Sata ability have ATA or Pata abilities through the IDE ports as well? Just wondering if I can use an ultra ata, or other format in the meantime untill I get my Sata hd.
My guess is it may depend on the Mobo or that a board advertised as Sata is Sata only. On the other hand, since Sata is the newer technology that most Mobo's with it are backwards compatable.
Thanks for responding to the noob question.
