I think what worries me is the controllers on the motherboard. An example might be what one of my motherboards does on boot:
PIIX: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 38 PIIX: not 100% native mode: will probe IRQ's later ... PIIX: device not capable of full native PCI mode ...
That is why I think it might vary from one motherboard to the next IF you are also using the built-in IDE interfaces and that is what the original poster seemed to want to do.
