Tough call on the SCSI boot speed. It depends on the controller, and the types of drives that you're working with. A good controller, with half-decent Ultra2 LVD drives will boot very nicely, after a slight delay getting the controller activated. The big difference that you'll notice is with application load times, and anything that swaps to the drive a lot (graphics programs). A good SCSI drive with good access times (7.5 ms or less) is good. I recommend the Seagate Cheetah's and Adaptec cards if you're looking for some. My bet is you'll notice a better performance boost with SCSI drives under NT than you would with dual-processors. (I know I have...and I run a few boxes at home with dual processors) Cheers, Rich
