The main difference is the Firewire ports and a second SATA controller (Promise 20579) price is approx. 30% higher. The promise controller can do 0+1 with the two SATA drives and two PATA drives. But you can't do 0+1 with four SATA drives, because they are on two different RAID controllers. The ASUS A8V-DX K8T800 (as you asked) has also a promise 20378 onboard, so also not able to do 0+1 with four SATA drives. > It does look like a nice board, otherwise--thanks for the headsup! :-) > > Best, > --Glenn Greetings, Harald
