Looking for a PATA controller card

As the title says, I'm in need of a [font=Arial,Helvetica]IDE controller card. I just picked up two 160GB Seagates at Best Buy for $20 each, but I need a card to use them. I'd like to keep it cheap (~$40 max) as I don't really want a RAID card for this box, just two extra drives (preferably on two different channels). I'd like the card to be well supported by Linux, not require bloated software for XP, and have good performance with both OS's. What do you suggest?

I don't know about Linux support but I use Syba SD-ATA 133R. Its PATA 133 and only cost like $17. Works fine for me

Does anyone know if this will work without conflicting with the other SI controller (from what I've read so far in reviews on this card, it doesn't always play nice with other SI hdd controllers) on the Abit NF7-S? If it will work, this is exactly what I'm looking for.
