Hey, I just put together my PC using the exact same motherboard you're looking at. eVGA's website issued a hotfix for the SATA problems it's apparently been having. Have yet to find out if it'll work because I'm reinstalling XP on it now.
By the way, I'd recommend upgrading the power supply, especially if you're going SLi with higher-end cards. I have a 700 watt in mine now and works like a charm. This post has been edited by Venek: Jan 29 2007, 08:14 PM -------------------- UberGeeks of the world...UNITE!

Would this PSU suffice for my system now and for future upgrades in the next year or two. Does it support quad core or does that matter.

Mad Dog is just a rebrander, they buy up tech, slap their name on it and sell it off. Sometimes they use Thermaltake hardware, so if that's what that power supply is then you can go with that.
Otherwise I would just go with the actual Thermaltake PSU. --------------------  |
