Please stop spreading this complete rubbish. >From what I've been able to discern from the archives, it appears the LSI 320 cards are more popular on amd64... Does anyone have experience with the 2130SLP (and/or it's pci counterparts, e.g. the 2120) under amd64, and if so, can you share your experiences, positive or negative? I'm leaning towards the LSI, but my distributor stocks the Adaptecs and all other things being equal it's easier to get everything from under one roof...
