Probably not SCSI , as that is a very deliberate act, I have a
a PCI SCSI card ( only 160 Mbyte / s transfer rate ) but 3 SCSI Maxtor Atlas 10 K disks for 72 Gigabytes of capacity.

Motherboard is Gigabyte with an AMD64 3000+ processor. kind of overkill for a Browsing system, but very responsive.... I love it.

Cool! I have a Volkswagen compared to that.

Using a lap at the moment.

Question, does your AMD run SP-2. Mine will not.

Should have added , that I am running Linux..Xandros V3, which also helps with responsiveness.....XP Pro is slow in contrast as a browsing machine, even with Firefox..,
