yeah i'll start looking at my own raid controllers

i do a bit of 3D MAX

lots of CPU used so i don't want a RAID taking from my CPU

and that one IS a software raid (at least by comparison over a KNOWN hardware raid card i played with at work....)

now i need to fiure out if t's worth it...

because i only have PCI and PCI express 1x on my MOBO free

my vid card take the 16x slot....

i wonder what the max trasnfer of the southbridge it...

should i MAX a PCIX bus or use my CPU hmmm....

*1x cards are hard to find and-way
