Special note:

If a motherboard SAYS it has RAID yet does NOT mention SCSI then automatically it is an IDE RAID solution. Very few motherboards have on-board SCSI adapters (let alone SCSI RAID adapters

For most of the standard boards you hear about (eg. Abit, ASUS, EPoX, Gigabyte, MSI, etc.) those almost always have IDE RAID on them when they mention RAID. Its not until you get into the IMHO "super" MB that you start to see on-board SCSI solutions.

My main system is completely SCSI and is, for the most part, wonderful. I have 4 HDD (3 of them in RAID 0), 3 CDROM drives, and a SCSI ZIP drive all running on an Adaptec 2940U2W. The best thing I love about this setup is that all that is running on ONE IRQ and is very fast!! (Try and do that with IDE

Anyways I am done rambling myself

Any more questions?
