I didn't realise that an extra-card '875 would be cheaper than the on-board Adaptec. I'm onto my second built-in-Adaptec motherboard (first iwill, now gigabyte), and they've both worked like champs. I remember them being less expensive than the equivelant board+Adaptec card, but probably didn't compare them to the '875 for price. Having more spare PCI slots is a factor too. -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
