I have been using the VIA 8237r chipset for my sata drive, I got curious and tried the promise controller to see if it would report the SMART info, since the VIA chipset doesn't.
Well what a joke, I cant find a driver newer than 2003!
I had a Sil 3112 on my A7N8X and I got a 2007 bios, and 2007 Vista driver.
Whats with Promise?
I'll never buy a board with a Promise controler again....

I have the 378 controller on my K8V SE Deluxe. I used the XP driver when I had 32bit Vista running. It worked OK. I now use x64 and just abandoned the controller.

And your chipset isn’t VIA, it’s a nVidia nForce2

If you bothered to read his post it said he "had a Sil 3112 on my A7N8X".
In his signature he lists an A8V which has the VIA 8237.

Yes, I border to read his post, just overlooked the "real question".
