I am seeing a 1.95x speed increase for RAID0 on an ASUS based U/33 system also. Given that #3 PCI shares an interrupt with the on board HPT366, it's essentially no different than sticking a Promise U/66 in slot 3. I guess I was expecting a little more from expensive cables, big cache and 7200 RPM. +13% is not exactly break out the champaign material. Some of the NT/w98 folks are reporting much higher numbers than 17MB/s. I didn't catch what if any methodology was used. Thanks for the feedback. I'll watch for timeouts when the second drive and RAID0 goes in. --
