CpuIdle......DPT RAID...SupeRAID95

I am with you on the performance issue. I understand that it is not intended to increase performance. As long as there is no significant performance decrease it's a go.

A simple finger test.

Only simple if the CPU is readily available.

The DPT site

Thanks for the link. I spent a couple of hours there yesterday. I will spend more time today. The RAID controllers look like they will work in a Win95 work station. I feel Win 95 power machine coming onSupeRaid95.

Shall I skip EIDE harddrives? Boot to a 2GB SCSI drive and then set-up a couple of IBM quiet cool 9 GB drives in a RAID 1/0 array?
PII acer BX PII 400. I think it can be set up with a reasonable jump in point (ie start with the 2 GB boot drive and a PII 233) and build to the to the power solution.

Need to go Win95 as NT isn't there yet. That nice sound card you found and the Millenium Rainbow? video capture card are not supported in NT. NT might be a great operating system, It is just that there is not much to operate on. Who wants a machine that is no fun?
