I think this one, going by the pic has 2 IDE channels:-

You would need to confirm that if you can find full specs for it and also whether it supports 45nm if that's what you're after.

Don't think any of the current mainstream chipsets support 2 IDE channels anymore.

Will just be using a E2160 in it. Will just need to confirm it has the 2 channels
