Please explain to me why Adaptec is an upgrade. The testimony given from Linux and FreeBSD users state they've had significantly better performance from their NCR53C810 than any 7870-based card, even on a bad day! Not to mention that the 2940 card carries a fairly heavy pricetag... If there is some new wonderful Adaptec PCI SCSI card, I'd like to hear about it. -Clint
