Jim, I am with you totally on twin SCSI, that is the best route, with separate conrollers, right? In the desktop music recording studio world, this is the default, SCSI array in RAID-0, especially for direct to HD high bit rate recording of voice and acoustical instruments. You've GOT to have that speed of double write. Maybe you SHOULD wait for the SR. Steve from CL just posted in another thread that it is almost ready. If you put up a benchmark now, people will start running it with the P6 memory problem in place and confuse the issue. It would not be a fair measure of P6. Just my opinion. ::::: Opera :::::
