Conventional wisdom (Civilme) has it that the highpoint raid controller will not offer any more gains than a linux software raid.i too have the same controller on a Abit board, I used it in raid 0 with windows b4 I turned to linux. Under windows the benchmarks are great but real life gains are about 15%. I know highpoint have binary only drivers for RH, Caldera, Suse and a few others but nothing for Mandrake which is not too surprising given the bucketing mandrake have put on the highpoint combined with thier distinct retisence to do anything about supporting it. I seem to recall quite a deal of discussion on this subject in mandrake user ( I think) I suspect one could get the kernael source from one of the supported distros and compile in the drivers and use it as the kernel for mandrake but I could and most likely wrong on this point. sorry to be the bearer of disapointing news Rob
