CPU: Intel Core 2 6400 @ 2.13GHz
Motherboard: ASUS P5-B (3 years warranty). Based on a Intel P965 chipset (ICH8 on Southbridge). Supports DDR-2 RAM, PCI-Express. BIOS version 0701.
RAM: 1 * 2GB DDR-2 @ 800Mhz (Transcend) + 1 * 1GB DDR-2 @ 667Mhz (Corsair)
HD: 1 * 320GB @ 7200rpm (Seagate) + 1 * 250GB @ 7200rpm (Seagate)
PCI Wifi 802.11g. Atheros Chipset, MSI manufacturer (PCI54G3 - II).

The motherboard chipset supports AHCI. On Linux this is supported perfectly out of the box with recent kernel versions, however on Windows XP an official driver is not available so you must use a fake one. Here is a link to a package I created. You must then go to the Device Manager, and install the driver from there.

Note that if you do not install these AHCI drivers, Windows will not boot if AHCI mode is enabled in the BIOS. You will have to fall back to IDE mode.
