The mother board has everything and after nVIDIA provided the

It has a 2 SATA plug but it is not the SATA II which I
learned about today. It says the SATA data goes to the pci
buss. It works but not as fast as I thought.
At that price, I'll bet you got a dual-core as opposed to
core-duo processor, which is fine, but, not the newer even
faster technology; and I'd bet that you got a slower FSB, less
memory capacity and slower memory, and maybe regular SATA as
opposed to SATA II, though on this last, I doubt it - however,
the drive you bought may be only SATA I, that's pretty common
still, and if you plug that into a SATA II controller, it's
still only going to run at the slower speed.
Unless you're doing big database crunching or video editing or
similar things, I'm sure you'll be quite happy, so this is not
intended as a criticism of your purchase at all.
