oh, then Raid 5 is big pimpin'. I don't like how much space you lose with raid0+1.

But you will notice the speed difference from ide to scsi, and from scsi to scsi raid, especially when booting and loading up programs and games. If you have a gig of ram, your computer won't need to do as much swapping(unless you decide to run an algorithm to solve the stock market, or intensively use photoshop), so that won't be a big issue, but it will help for that, too.

FYI, that card handles raid 5 too.

damn.. maybe I'll just get that card myself.. and sit on it until I can get some scsi drives to set up a raid 0 swap drive. mmm.. ^_^ What an expensive, yet addicting hobby, computing is.
