    Hey guys, I've been thinking of getting another hard drive to store more things like my anime music etc. And I was thinking of gettting a SATA hard drive
    lets use this one for example
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16822148149
    It's 3.0Gb's and my motherboard has 1.5Gb's support or something like that will this hard drive run on my board?

    Intel socket 478 model d865perl

    (currently at work trying to figure it out lol) :shaggy:

    You'll only get the 1.5GB/s speed thought.
