I was going to suggest the same thing.  The previous system board here had 
two SATA connectors (which I didn't use as it still had four EIDE channels.  The 
current system board has four SATA connectors and only two EIDE channels so I 
switched over to SATA.  But the point is that while I was deciding on which 
system board to purchase, I looked at all that MicroCenter had (maybe 20-25) 
and all had at least two SATA.
