| 92526 | 2002-10-24 07:10:00 | the only halfheight graphics cards i have seen are the budget range. basicly made for workstation duty. not very good if you want to play late model games. also the trouble is actually finding them. not many people stock them. |

If you are lucky enough to have a motherboard with a 64 bit PCI slot you can use an Ultra 320 SCSI card. One device will never deliver 320MB/s but if you have 14 Disks or a RAID set on the card you may be able to saturate the interface. Therefore an Ultra 320 Card is not an economical buy for a workstation. You'd be better off putting iut into a large server. That said I use Ultra 160 on my workstation with a single disk. The main benefit I have is the very low seek times rather than the burst rate, which can nearly be achieved by cheaper IDE solutions. |
