Hi Wayand,

It is almost certainly SATA 2.0 - (3.0Gbit/s).

To check go to Device Manager and expand IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.

If the SATA Controller is ICH6 or lower and 82801 F ........ Then you have SATA 1.0 (1.5 Gbit/s)

If the SATA Controller is ICH7 or higher and 82801 G ...... Then you have SATA 2.0 (3.0 Gbit/s)

You can also check the specifications of your 965PM chipset on the Intel website.

:wink:

thank you, for your answer, i found this :

Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller

dose this mean, I can use a Hard Drive SATA 2.0 ?
