Go nForce. MSI do a couple.

That's what I was hoping to use, it's backwards compatible, right?

With what?

FSB333, AGPx4, all the stuff that I use now with the KT3 Ultra.


You'll need some PATA - SATA adapters

Didn't know about these? Can you expand?

Adaptors that allow you to use parallel ATA drives on a Serial ATA
controller. Be sure to get ones that support optical drives (ATAPI,
presumably) if you want that (which is not what you've described, but
worth
mentioning)

This looks like it will solve the problem, then... I can use the old IDE
RAID drives on a new SATA RAID motherboard, is that right?
In this case, would the MSI K7N2 Delta-FISR be a good choice? I picked it
as it's an MSI nForce2 board, has SATA RAID, and in a vain attempt to future
proof, 400MHz FSB.
