The performance is same as Adaptec, but much lower price. Hi, If you are using LVD disks, the performance *should* differ, should it not? The 875 is an SE chip while the Asus P2B-S has the 7890 LVD chip on board. By the way, Asus does not make the SC-875 any more. So the Tekram DC390F would be the one to look for, for the 875 chip. YMMV, Kedar. Take care, Kedar Rajadnya. ASA Computers, Inc. 2354 Calle Del Mundo. Santa Clara, CA 95054.
