as an addendum to the below, if you're not that familiar with scsi remember that you won't get the full use of u160 or above bandwith if you use a scsi adapter in an ordinary 33mhz 32 bit pci slot, 32bitsx33mhz=132mb/s of course that's a peak performance not a sustained one but if you can't achieve the best peak it lessens the likelyhood of getting the best sustained:) beyond the 32bit pci are 66mhz slots and also 64bit ones,
of course if you are my gran then i guess you already know about egg-sucking! bascule On Thursday 27 Feb 2003 4:45 pm, tarvid wrote: > > U160 is closer the norm now although U320 and FC would be faster (but more > expensive.
