I don't think I have this option on my motherboard's BIOS.

BTW, I am running with a Silicon Image 3124 chipset 4 port SATA-II card
now (of generic Taiwanese make), and have had no issues with it. Seems
like a good chipset for cheap ZFS on CURRENT. Fingers crossed, the
driver won't break until RELEASE.

The G33 Intel on-board graphics chipset on my motherboard should now be
supported in Xorg 7.3 with the latest xorg "intel" driver -- if only I
could get xorg to start up in CURRENT without locking up my system.
