TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
worst IDE controller ever

good board for the money and its some what reliable

the ide controller on this thing sucks, i tired to connect a ide harddrive and dvd drive to the same ide channel(since it only has one) and it would work fine untill the dvd drive had to access large files (such as a program installer) it would get this weird looking screen that looked like if an original nintindo game had locked up the pc and no error messages on what would be causing the problem, so i switched the hard drive for a sata ready one and the problem has gone away, is as if the IDE controller would get confused on what files where coming and going then crash

dont put more than one device on the IDE channel or you will see some funky looking error screens
