Well, that's debatable. My "low-end" RAID-5 baseline today would be a
350MHz P-II, one U2 controller and 4+ disks. The CPU will do RAID-5
parity checksums at 850MB/s, ten times the speed of one Ultra2 SCSI
channel. A CPU upgrade will not make this system faster - more disks
and SCSI controllers will.
