Actually, I have had this exact problem with almost the same hardware.
I have 2 K7, 1 with the VIA and 1 with the Irongate chipset. Promise in

The problem isn't with the RAID stuff. (Please don't flame me for this,

chunk-size...

If it works, you gain a lot. Your system is fine if you can predict when a di
