Sata 2

[James]

Do you need hardware support for SATA2? If I get a new mobo(which I will be doing shortly, should I make sure it has SATA2 support?

yes

you dont HAVE to have SATA2, but for future compatibility you would be advised to try an find a mobo with SATA2. It is a hardware thing, and so a firmware or BIOS update will not be able to give you SATA2. You can also use SATA1 drives now, and upgrade to SATA2 at a later stage...
