• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

I have an old Compaq that has a dead IDE and I think the 2nd is crapping also.

If I get a controller card and put it in, can I ...

A) boot to the drive on the card? (have none connected directly to the mobo)

B) Install an OS to a drive on the card? (Remember, no drive connected to the board itself)

C) Which would be better, a 100 or 166? (this box is not going to do anything major, mainly host my pics and fold)
