Astute question, but SATA probably is on his motherboard, unless it was rather old when "new". SATA started showing up on motherboards about 11 years ago. I even have one supporting SATA onboard that runs an ancient Sempron Socket A/462. http://www.biostar-usa.com
The mom board has built in SATA. I bought it about 8 years ago. It has a single core AMD 64 bit CPU with hyperthreading. On Saturday, a friend gave me an ASUS P8H67-M LX motherboard and I bought a 4 core Intel CPU & 8 GB of memory for it. I also picked up an IDE adapter for the new board, so I can continue to use my current DVD drives. Apparently SATA DVD drives in beige are somewhat scarce. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
