  • You have to enable BIOS support of both IDE and SATA at the same time on the MS6678 motherboard from MSI.  (Really, why isn’t this the default?  You should only go in and turn support for one or the other off if you know you don’t need it.)
  • A 3.0 GB/sec SATA drive will not overwhelm a motherboard that only supports 1.5 GB/s.
  • Cinebench is a free benchmarking tool for testing total system performance, especially on multi-core systems.
In a side note, 10 years ago I was driving into work thinking that it was someone in a Cessna who had crashed into one of the WTC Towers incompetently, not hijackers in a jumbo jet deliberately.
