Guest Colin Barnhorst Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Re: XP 64Bit installation USB devices Unless you mean external, I have never seen a mobo with fewer than four. I have 10, 4 for raid, 4 solo, and two external eSATA ports for external devices. What board only has one SATA connector?

Guest Colin Barnhorst Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Re: XP 64Bit installation USB devices Hmmm. I guess having plenty of SATA controllers has been a priority with me for years so I would've always selected a mobo with that in mind. Have you considered an add-on card?
