Yep, if you mention my name or Bob Zelin’s name, you get a little discount. They’re not permitted to advertise that on the Cow.

Just a heads up, I bought my Dual 3.2 Quad from the Apple store, and it DOES come with the NiVidia 8800 stock…..it says it on the outside of the box in the specs section….is this card ok?

On a Mac Pro 8 core I’m having a problem with my external raid slower than my internal raid. Silicon Image (card manufacturer) tells me the internal should be faster but I don’t believe them. The internal is three 1.5T Western digital drives read/write around 300MB, the external is eSata – five Seagate 1T read/write around 200MB. What are your thoughts?

My thought is that Silicon Image is full of baloney. There’s no way a three drive SATA raid should be faster than a 5 drive SATA raid, unless possibly the controller card is an older legacy card operating at 1.5mbps.

It is a Sata II controller in Slot 2 with 8 lanes in the Mac Pro. The graphic card is in the 16 lane slot 1. Where do we have some documentation that the external should be faster so I can shove it back to Silicon Image
