True. Good guestion... I have no idea of the PCI bus speed. I actually thought that what ever it is, it's going to be more than (P)ATA and as Bonnie++ showed that the RAID was in the same ballpark as a PATA drive would be, I didn't think that PCI bus would be the limiting factor. But it must be - PIII 733MHz is not slowing the RAID parity calculations down, drives are fast, card is fast... that leaves the PCI bus I guess. -- HG. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
