ive never seen a via6421 sata card in a super store.

just check at tiger and see if they have the same card.ive got things from tiger myself.
i would tell you get that card it dont matter where it comes from.

I dunno what shipping's like for you Canadiens, but if you can order this card

I can vouche that it works. Microcenter is a big computer retailer and one of the finest around. Also, 6421L did not work for me. I had to use the above card with 6421A....
