looks like deal is dead...

<< I just got mine... 1400 pt 3dmark increase. :) >> now this is a statement... and i get how sb can become golden pretty fast... anyway I don't try to play it smart but both your posts were full of info!!!

Trying to find a decent deal on that combo... link BTW, it is factory reconditioned...

and of course I wasn't talking about the 64MB version but the 128... 64 is still an awesom card with all DV capabilities but it is clocked down... ATI redesigned 128 - when 64 was released they never accepted officially that it was a real 8500 (called it 8500 R200) more info @ anandtech article...

here's the research : - this card is powered by a radeon8500 clocked at 275/275 - reaches the performance of Geforce4 4200, and sometimes even outperforms it... - is overclockable - extra features such as DV (no firewire compared to 64 version) and TV are there... - new, very good drivers give...

sorry for the missing link but @ 3:30am you dont link your deal !! it's simply impossible... plus I said "Spartian"... I need no EXTRA buttons, just a plain keyboard and that's the reason I don't like their "media keyboard" but I didn't know the rapid response is better, beloved patriot...

at amazon for $18+7ship=25 ..only a few left at provantage it comes at $27 I heard it has the best feeling....for the linux "Spartian";) + it is black

it depends on the shipping costs...never bought from Gayway anybody checked? I think I'll wait for the Ge4200....

...so...how much will I be given for that, boss? :cool:

thanx for the claricications tedinde, Can Highpoint boot a single HD just as a plain controller? I think most raid cards are able... And what do you think about the price? 68$ better deals?

If u have the proper connection you can watch that videoreview....CrazyLink It goes through the installation and explains the different RAID types... nice the bad thing is that it uses 2 ata100 drives... (maxtors 20gig) ...and if I was a woman I would def. be in love with Rodney after this...

true sb25, Iwill did the same thing with their MB's. They have a good support under Linux... Promise (If I'm not wrong correct plz!) never did that and I had problems setting up a system. The similar Promise model sells for $98 at Newegg Iwill doesnt have a 133 controller... Link

interesting Drakkon... but did you manage to get a promise cards up in Linux? they are usually difficult to set up in linux RH7.2 and other distros. but if you managed to set up one, I definitely need to talk to you...:)

I was looking for a good 133 RAID controller with Linux support and I came into this... Highpoint RocketRAID133 you have to find 59+9ship=$68 in your leaking pocket.... I think it is a decent price... suggestions for this controller?

got mine yesterday.. definitely worthed waiting for this baby!! I just realized that when I opened the box...:cool:
