I'm using SATA drives without any problem from FC1 up to now, both x66_64
and i386. One of my box is built around the same MoBo and I've installed a
pletora of different GNU/Linux with this in the SATA drives.
I've used SATA disks from Samsung (very reliable) Maxtor (2 years life
before crash) an now WD

HTH

PS: I've experienced problems with Windows XP installer when the SATA disk
was filled up with Linux partitions
