New to the list, the reply from the Majordomo server said nothing about
how to send mail TO the group, so taking a chance here...
I know that there will most likely be a number of opinions on this, but
any direction at all will be better than what I have currently so here it
goes.
What is the best current PCI based SCSI card for Linux? Fixing to build
a new machine here and want to get away from IDE drives.
The new machine will be:
Freetech Falcon (P5F76) Motherboard (System Clock supports 75 MHz)
128 Meg of EDO
Intel Pentium 200
Video ? Unknown... Still have not figured out what the best/most supported
accelerated card is right now under Xfree86 3.1.2 that will
be fast and do 1600x1200 (will be driving a 21" monitor)
Hard drives ? Unknown... I want 2 of them, one for system and one for
users. I would think about 1-2 gig each. Any suggestions
as to the fastest/most reliable drives out there now?
Anyway, this is the basic stuff. Is the Adaptec 3940 Ultra Wide or maybe
one of the new BusLogics a good choice?
Thanks for any input anyone might have, looking forward to it.
Patrick
