[Kenshin]

I am plannin to buy a 300GB hdd,my motherboard is 915..so basically supports SATA1...can i connect a SATA2 drive...I hv heard tat it will work at sata1 speeds..

if ur mobo does not accept ur SATA2 HDD as it is, you can use d jumper settings to make d new HDD work like a SATA1 hdd

Yups SATA3Gb/s is backward compatible with SATA1.5Gb/s.
I myself use that way..
