Noted with thanks. I think that my CPU is capable, AMD althol 1.4G with 256MB DDR RAM. >On a side note, I also bought a Promise TX2 RAID controller for use in >Win2K.

I am also considering to have either PROMISE FASTTRAK100 TX2 PCI ULTRA-ATA/100 RAID CONTROLLER (2 channels) or PROMISE FASTTRAK100 TX4 PCI ULTRA-ATA/100 4-CHANNEL RAID (2 channels) ( ***** I prefer 4 channels *****) However for 2 channels, the price of IWILL IDE RAID CONTROLLER CARD-SIDE RAID 100 W/SW & CABLE is quite attractive Any guy on the list has experience using this RAID controller card ? Please shed me some advice. Thanks B.R. Stephen _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
