Integrated SCSI or SCSI card?

Which is better to get? I am starting to look at putting together a new system which will be uses by both Windows 2000/XP then as a Linux web server in its time. I plan on having 2 SCSI HDD's with RAID 0 (under windows) then then later changing it to RAID 1 under Linux. It will have IDE CD-ROMs (if possible, which I haven't seen a problem with, yet).

So, is it faster and/or more reliable to get an integrated SCSI card on the motherboard, or just get a motherboard with IDE and add a SCSI card for the HDD's as a plug-in, given the planned set up? Does it really make any difference? The mobo's I am looking at have both 64bit 3.3v PCI's and 32bit 5v PCI's (if it makes a difference as far as PCI SCSI cards go).

Thanks
John
 
I prefer cards just because if they fail, I can easily replace it without having to deal with RMAing or replacing my motherboard.
 
mee too also because if later you decide to upgrade the motherboard or build a new computer then you just move the card

depends on what you want though🙂
