Re: Suggestions for a new AMD64 system

Yeah, I think that we established that BIOS RAID isn't the best...
while Linux's RAID system is rather good - for software RAID.  Ideally
you'd go out and pay ~$150-$300 USD for a hot new hardware RAID card,
but since s/w RAID is usually just fine, I wouldn't reccommend the
extra cash for a h/w RAID controller.
