I am using the Asrock DualSata2 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
It has 2 'normal' Sata ports (ULI chipset) |
| 21 |
1 Sata2 port (JMicron - nobody knows if it is supported) |
| 22 |
onboard 10/100mbit ethernet, which works with kernels >2.6.14-rc* - and for |
| 23 |
earlier versions is an opensource driver on the ULI homepage. |
| 24 |
onboard sound works |
| 25 |
1xPCIE16x, 1xPCIE1x, 1xAGP8x, 3xPCI. |
| 26 |
1 Sockel-upgrade-slot, o you do not need to buy a new board with the next |
| 27 |
socket 'upgrade' |
| 28 |
2xudma-Pata. |
| 29 |
1xfloppy |
| 30 |
Many usb2 port |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Everything is supported by opensource drivers, and it is cheap as dirt. And |
| 33 |
not too slow either... |
