The 3ware card and the Dual Port em are both in the PCI-X 100 slots (the first two). There are no 32bit cards in the machine. Is there some method I can use to determine if the PCI bus is the bottleneck or even to determine the level of contention on the bus? I've been looking at the newer Opteron boards with multiple PCI buses but that's a lot of money to spend on my hunch. --=20 Sean
