Dan:
At the onset I will be using a 17G Quantum Fireball lct, but may replace
it with one of the newer, faster drives that are out there. I am even
thinking of experimenting with RAID 0. Has anybody got this working in
Linux? What are the performance gains with software RAID and the Promise
hardware RAID that is optional on the A7V133?
The real barrier, for me, is that I don't need the storage that even the
a two disk RAID would deliver. Well, I could probably fill a 2X20G
setup, but a 3X or 4X30 would just spin for me.
Re the video. I have an PCI Voodoo III in the box right now. I'll keep
it for the time being. Just for the record. This will replace an AMD
K6-2 200 so I expect to see some changes. John T
