How old is the board?

 

[smenon]

It is almost 3 years old.

Can I consider SATA for this three years old motherboard?

 

[Kharn]

Do you have SATA connectors on the board?

 

[smenon]

I checked and found no SATA connectors. Now I am thinking of installing an PCI card with SATA connectors.

it would prolly just be a better idea to get a ide drive so you dont have to spend money on a sata card

in this case I have to check if IDE HDD is still available in market or not.
