It would take an astonishing amount of traffic to max out the interfaces. I don't think a PC based system could handle a fraction of what you propose. I think you need to look to a non-Intel platform, like Alpha or something. >PCI bandwidth is about 132 MB/sec (32bit at 33MHz), and with 100MB/sec? taken I thought the PCI bus speed was the same as the CPU base speed (FSB). You're saying the PCI bus is fixed at 33MHz? >SCSI controllers to use the AGP slot (since AGP is really PCI @ 66MHZ >with a funny connector <- flame target) . There are SCSI raid adapters >that are using PCI 66MHZ. Maybe it's time for motherboards with multiple AGP's. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | -=I T ' S P R I N C I P L E T H A T C O U N T S=- | |=- -=ALAN KEYES FOR PRESIDENT=- -=| | Balanced Budgets Personal Freedoms Morality Lower Tax | |=-- http://www.Keyes2000.com. --=| +———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————+
