Serial ATA and AGP 8X motherboards

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the faster-is-better-when-you-don't-crash dept.

bjschrock writes "Tech-Junkie reports that Asus is rolling out new motherboards with the new Serial ATA interface, along with AGP 8X support. Serial ATA will soon become pretty popular with the release of new hardware like the Seagate Baracudda ATA V hard drive, that sports a 8MB cache. The main advantage of Serial ATA, besides a slight speed increase, is the much smaller cable and the ability to hot-swap."

    Stop playing with your crappy motherboards and get a life! No one cares if you can get a zillion fps on quake with this crap! Now do something important, like Like recompiling your kernel!
