SATA Controller that bypasses the PCI Bus??

[imdrecordings]

Sweet Jesus, not another MOBO question!! :roll:
Hopefully this one can help others, using a FF800
Anybody know of a MOBO that can use a Core 2 DUO, 64bit WIN or Vista that bypass the PCI bus for controlling SATA..???

I'd like to go to bigger badder 10,000 rpm SATA drives, but with my FF800 I can't use them. Because my Sata controller is interupted by everything in the PCI bus...

Thanks...
p.s.- What about getting a SATA controller that hooks up to a PCIe slot and not use the onboard controler? Would that bypass the PCI bus? Or maybe get a PCIe FW800 card, would that bypass the PCI buss?

I'd like to save the PCI buss for the UADs..

Your thoughts and suggestions are appritiated [/b]

I'm not sure either route is going help very much. You could get a PCI-E Firewire or SATA card and go serial to bypass the parallel PCI devices. Obviously you just still need to access the PCI buss again. So you're right in saying that this could be a solution.

The only problem that could occur is the IRQ problems when sharing the devices when put in that order. SATA controllers are seen as additional SCSI controllers so should be ranked quite high up in the interupt list.

Mine is IRQ 20 (ACPI mode) on a Via KT600 chipset.
