Hi Kyle,
AMD/ATI SB700/750 will use 64-bit DMA for data transfer with Solaris
ahci driver since snv_116.
Morever Solaris ahci driver has already supported nVidia AHCI SATA
controller.(0x10de,0ad4).
Thanks,

Hi all,
I think I've read that the AMD 790FX/750SB chipset's SATA controller
is upported, but may have recently had bugs?
I'm currently trying to decide between a MB with that chipset and
another that uses the nVidia 780a and nf200 south bridge.
Is the nVidia SATA controller well supported? (in AHCI mode?)
At the moment I'm leaning toward that MB (ASUS M3N-HT) since it seems
to still be available. Where as the AMD one (ASUS M3A79-T) seems
harder to find. There is the ASUS M4A79T which is almost the same
board, but it has 1 less SATA port - Which is also the reason I'm not
looking at the M4N82 nVidia board.
I wanted to run all this through something like the driver detection
tool, but since I haven't bought the boards yet, that's kind of tough.
