The Promise Ultra66 IDE controller is nice. I can definately tell a
difference when I'm running Win98. As for running it under Linux, that is a
different question. I would definately recommend reading the Ultra-DMA How
To before you buy the card. Here is a link.
http://www.linux-howto.com/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Ultra-DMA.html I'm still fairly
new to Linux, so I still don't have things setup quite right. I've also
seen references to a beta driver provided by Promise on thier web page.
Supposedly, it only works with certain kernal versions. I can't really say
how well it performs. Good luck.
