I know I read a MS document comparing RAID performance on UDMA66, among
other things. I believe it said that UDMA66 bandwidth is maxxed out between
2 and 3 IDE drives (assuming some RAID hardware in there). The secondary
issue is PCI bus speed at 33MHx/32bit is getting very weak for today's
systems. <Yeah, I know about 64bit/66MHz PCI but it's got its own problems>
