NOT because of MMX, as the K6-2 has MMX instructions. It could be because
of the parity calculations, but you'd need to do a test on a single disk to
make sure that it doesn't have anything to do with the CPU/memory chipset or
disk controller. Can you try with a single drive to determine where things
should be?
