6.0 Gb/s Board IDENTIFICATION
Do 6.0 Gb/s boards use both north and south bridges? Or...is there a newer for 6.0 Gb/s? Thanks, Mar.

Depends on the specific board - the North part of the North/south bridge has been disappearing for a while - many of those functions are now handled directly by the CPU itself.

Sandy Bridge and Higher Core I3 I5 I7 have specific ports that are SATA 3. Specifically 2 ports SATA 3 the other 4 are SATA 2.
SATA 1 is very old motherboards.
Intel "Sandy Bridge", 2nd Generation and up Core CPUs X79 H67 and P67 Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chipsets have support of 2 SATA 3 6Gb/s ports

I was hoping for a common denominator. In the event I don't see a N. bridge, could that be 1st step in visual determination of SATA III? Thank You, ejn63.
