[Unklmo]

quick one,
on the eVGA 6801 mobo i see the sata connections are numbered. does it matter which slots i make my connections (1,2,3...) in ?
connections looking to make are dvd, and 2 hd's.
thnx

Nah, doesn't matter at all. Do it however you like, should work fine.

hard drive needs to be on 1 and then after that who cares

On many of the 965 & P35 boards there are secondary controllers which add extra SATA ports over and above the native chipset ones.... probably a slight difference in performance between the secondary and primary controllers so it might be worth running HDTach and comparing between the two. (Not sure if the 680i boards have an extra controller).

actually I needed to install both my HD's in Sata 1 & 2 on the side of the board in order to setup Raid 0
