My bad,

running 6.2-RELEASE for amd64,

where yours says.... atapci2: <nVidia nForce MCP51 SATA300 controller>

mine says

atapci2: <GENERIC ATA CONTROLLER>

so im wondering if there is an installable module that will bring
my harddisks up from ata33 speeds to sata300. similarly, i compiled
and installed the nfe drivers for the realtek gigabit nic.

cheers

Dean
