sort of over my head here...
my intention is to get an 8 channel sata raid
controller, however all the reviews and specs
i find for them are based on using them in a
133mhz (or 100mhz) 64bit pci-X slot, which i dont
have. so what im wondering is what the performance hit
of a card like 3wares 9500s-8 or broadcoms BC4852
would be if they were crammed into a little 33mhz slot.
or has anyone seen a review of one of those cards installed
on a non industrial motherboard, say one of todays finer
nforce4 boards. ahem.
my other option i guess would be to get a motherboard
with pcix133 slots and a pci-express slot for my video
card. only those dont seem to exist.
