SATA 3Gb/s will do.

However, I don't recommend this mobo, coz I don't think it support the lastest Phemon II x4 cpu

okay thanks a bunch, ive got another one. what about an EVGA nForce 730a Motherboard? im gettin it from tiger direct with a 6000+ 3.0Ghz AMD x2. what hard drives will it support? and when you say 3g on the hard drive what kinds does that include, like the SATA/300 or what?

Its got 1 IDE port, up to 2 IDE devices. 6 Sata II/3.0 ports. Use a Sata II/3.0 harddrive.

Sata II and 3.0 is the same thing. Its really called Sata II, (second generation). It can have rates up to 300MB/s / 3.0Gbit/s. Thats why you see them called Sata II or 3.0 blah blah blah.

Any of these
