I know I won't get max performance but for the time being... yes, the 3ware cards work in 32bit pci slots. something like a 8506 with some reasonably fast disk will get into the range of perhaps 70MB/s writeing on a big raid-5 stripe so you can get most of the performance you'd expect out of a 32bit pci card, it's just that when you add a second one and a couple of gigabit ethernets it's not going to continue to scale very well. > Thanks, > > Jurgen > > > > -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joel Jaeggli Unix Consulting joelja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx GPG Key Fingerprint: 5C6E 0104 BAF0 40B0 5BD3 C38B F000 35AB B67F 56B2
