At least an NCR controller (if the MB doesn't support NCR, get one with
a bios.)  The NCR costs between 1/3 and 2/3 that of the 2940 with most
of the perf.  The 2940 is probably marginally better, but both of 'em
are really good.  (I am using an NCR and very happy with it.)  I soon
will also be getting a 2940 or 3940...
