Motherboard controller?
hi, can anyone tell me what the controller is?
I want to use the machine for Digital Video Non-Linear Editing and in one site I read:
"Make sure the system has a UDMA66 or UDMA100 EIDE controller built into the motherboard. We do not recommend getting a system with an add-in EIDE controller for the boot drive."
how does the dimension shape up?
thanks

I say "sort of has" because apparently Dell has stripped a bunch of things off the standard i815 chipset, for example, the Intel D815EPEA board (which these are -- I looked under one of the Dell stickers) is supposed to have 3 DIMM slots, but the board in the 4100 only has 2, with solder points for a third but no actual slot.
Also, my motherboard has no onboard sound, which the D815EPEA has, and there are other (much more minor) differences.
