Require list of IDE controller chipsets

I am interested in IDE controller chipsets because I need to keep an eye on the model of the controllers for when I change the mobo. Seems that WinXP gets installed with a driver for only one particular IDE controller. Yep. But that doesn't matter, as you should be doing a full reinstall when changing the Motherboard anyway. Where can I get a list of controller chipsets used over the last three years or so? For what ? As above, the full reinstall required, means it doesn't matter what drive controller is present. If you *REALLY* need to move an XP installation to another board, then you need to be using Microsoft's SysPrep tool. Bear in mind you'll need to grab an approproate INF file full of drive controller IDs, if you wanna change drive controllers. |

A full reinstall when changing motherboards is not needed or required.
