Any of you guys running this combo? I can't figgure out from the Abit driver page which drivers to get for the Hard Disk Controller. I got the ones for the ATA 66. I don't know what the deginations mean for PR5, AR5 etc. I guess that it means something about the model number or version of bios or mobo.

Just get the latest from Highpoint for the HPT366 controller. I've run that setup, and my dad still does, and it works. DO NOT install the Intel ide drivers and the Highpoint controller drivers at the same time.
The most recent BIOS version for the motherboard is the TH bios version, for the motherboard only! At least that was the case a month or so ago...

THanks man for the info. What I had to do was to unhook the ATA66 cable from the drive and plug in a 40 pin cable, run the upgrade and then reconnect the ATA cable. It worked like a champ. Otherwise it would have freaked. Got the info from www.fraggersforum.com
