It really does very little processing on the chip itself, rather sends processes off to the system processor through a driver to accomplish raid operations. The card was written from the ground up to be a windows card, and the Linux drivers have never been very stable. Promise is very heavy handed tactics when it comes to trying to develop OSS drivers, requiring anybody/everybody to sign pretty heafty NDAs. Software raid will perform better and be more reliable. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/) Was I helpful?
