well.. that sounds hopeful :)

actually it *is* the deluxe version they are offering.. and have just
found out (since posting the original post) that that mobo indeed *does*
have SATA Raid.. so was happier than I originally was..

good to know it works well though.. am planning on using it for a Myth
machine so performance and, more importantly, stability is high on the
priority list..

thanks again
