[Please someone, wipe Blakerwry : he's drooling everywhere.

But I have to admit I share Blake's enthusiam for SIS products as of late.

One thing that dissapoints, which is no different than any of the other recent chipsets - only 2 native SATA connectors. Sigh.

Would someone please design a chipset with native support for 4 SATA devices!

I'm sure it's just like USB was limited to 2 ports... in 6 months we'll have several S-ATA connectors and I'll finally get an S-ATA drive.
