I have an Intel 915BPL board and am looking to buy a SATA drive. Does anyone know if it supports the SATA drives with NCQ?

Can't seem to find info in the manual.

Thanks

Click on supported motherboards in this link.

http://www.seagate.com/products/interface/sata/native.html

It says that Intel 875P chipsets are supported but does not mention newer boards. I think the page must be out of date. My feeling is that it is supported but seagate does not have anything about 915 chipsets on their site. If I find anything more I will post back.

Since NCQ was developed jointly by Intel and Seagate I would be shocked if that board did not support NCQ.

Edit: Ok, here is proof from Intel. All 900 series chipsets support NCQ.
