one thing that I was also curious about:
By using this PCI card, did that take a lot of load off of your
processor when you were doing your large file copy tests?
Right now when I am transferring huge files, my load goes up to ~2.0
due to the io, and makes my computer almost unusable.
If the card does reduce the load, would the same thing occur with the
ISA version of the card?
thanks
