I thought the PCI bus was 33Mhz. Isn't that the bottleneck? That was one of the reasons I liked ATTO PCI scsi cards. They are 64bits wide so take full advantage of the wide pci slot in G3/G4's. That still only gets you to 66MHz equivalent though. Maybe just "lore" but I remember reading that scsi drives put less demand on the cpu than ATA, because they have a smarter controller. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
