sata support in installer

[Mental Patient]

Hello, I'm researching sata support. Thinking about buying a new system 
and going all SATA. The only docs I've seen on SATA support are in new 
(2.4.21 and 2.6.0) kernels. Additionally, the links I've seen seem to 
indicate that people are installing debian on an EIDE drive, then 
upgrading the kernel, then using their SATA devices (see 
http://www.e-aiyama.com/~toshi/Computer/Linux/SATA.html).

Is the simplest solution for this to use a live cd like 
http://www.e-aiyama.com/~toshi/Computer/Linux/LiveCD.html? Are there 
debian installers that support SATA? Anyone have any 
advice/recomendations on brands of motherboards  (asus prefered, but not 
required)?
