hey guyzzz i have ASROCK 775VM800 mobo with SATA ports available... the only doubt i have is that is my MOBO compatible to flash my xbox 360... when i used extreme bootmaker and click on one of the LIST buttons it detected my ID & IO number and displayed VIA RAID SATA controller... so does that i mean my mobo supports flashin of xbox 360...

well here is a link for the specifications of my mobo...

The south bridge 8237R is on the compatibility list. If you take a visit to via you'll find more info on it.

I also got a mobo with that chipset and it worked find. Just make sure that even with a compatible mobo and chipset its recomended to used a hexed firmware. So when using xtreme boot maker make sure you hexed it.

thnxxx for the reply dude... the only prob i have now is that when i go to my mobo website it sez

CHIPSET : - Northbridge: VIA® P4M800
- Southbridge: VIA® 8237R

so does that mean i have both of them or any one of them...

Thats right, the mobo needs the north and south bridges, in this case, the south bridge is the chipset that handles your raid and sata. Make sure you go to

www.viaarena.com

and download the latest drivers for your chipset. Sometimes xtreme boot maker wont detect your sata controllers without them.
