Thx dude
About Tekram controllers; they do their job but not as well as Adaptec's. The RISC chip on the board is critical, its power determines the maximum load the controller can take without hampering your CPU. Adaptec RISC controllers are way more powerful. All my experiences with Tekram boards (i have tried 3) were either unsucessful (driver problems with NT) or deceptive (more than 10% CPU load opposed to 3% for Adaptec under the same conditions).
Again you only get what you pay for
(oh besides, the latest Tekram U160 is $12 more expensive than the corresponding Adaptec 29160N...)
