Hardware compatibility: NVIDIA Nforce 570 Ultra MCP and SATA

[Meng Cheah]

Hi

I'm looking at an ASUS M2N-E motherboard to use with a SATA hard drive 
and SATA DVD burner.
The chipset is the NVIDIA Nforce 570 Ultra MCP.

I understand that the earlier NVIDIA chipsets used the sata_nv driver 
and that the later ones use the ahci driver.
What does this chipset use?
Has anyone experience with the above board or another board based on the 
same chip?
Are there any issues that I should be aware of?

Is it possible to run both IDE and SATA devices simultaneously?
This is my first experience with SATA, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Meng
