Introduction
The IWill SIDE Pro 66 (Pro66) is an IDE controller card which provides Ultra DMA66 support for up to 4 compliant IDE devices.
With i820 and VIA Apollo Pro 133A based motherboard providing native UDMA66 support, does such a product still have a place in the sun?
- With the i820 and VIA133A both still having performance issues, the lifespan of BX-chipset has been inadvertently extended. The Pro66 provide the UDMA66 support lacking in the BX-chipset.
- For those of us with more than 4 IDE devices, the Pro66 lets us hook them all up.
