I have an ASUS P55T2P4 Triton II 586-120MHz with 16 Meg of ram, >512K L2 cache, Adptec 1542cf SCSI controller and 2 1-gig drives. Ack! You could do better! Throw away that old ISA piece of trash and get a PCI SCSI controller. You should be able to get an NCR/Symbios 53c810 based card for less than $100 from whoever you bought your Asus motherboard from. There is a very definite difference in disk performance. Especially if your hard drive(s) support tagged-command- queuing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
