Motherboard is MSI brand K8N Neo4-FX (uses nforce4 chipset) I am unsure about the hard and optical drives.  I guess they are SATA but guesses aen't always a good idea. I did not build this system, is there a simple way to get this info for you? <div>On 7/7/07, Andre Mangan <<a href="mailto:andremangan@gmail.com">andremangan@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div><div> Hello Trias, I have forwarded your last posting to the list so that it reaches as many helpful people as possible.
