Also here is a factoid to store in the back of your heads:

Max throughput on a PCI bus is 133Mb for the entire bus ( shared for all the cards) for that reason, anything over ATA 133 is sorta pointless. This is why most multi channel or RAID U2W or U160 SCSI cards are 64bit/33mhz or some are even 64bit/66Mhz PCI. ( 533Mb/sec)
