what i was thinking.
i have a system running 4.7-STABLE. i have a mylex
single channel scsi raid controller with two level1
arrays and a 3ware 7410 using 4 targets in a level5
array.
everything is 133 bus -- gig of ram, dual p3/800.
this machien holds up rather well for my user base
and web traffic.
