Question:
How many IRQ's do the on-board RAID controllers from HighPoint, Promise, AMI, etc. use? I used to have a HighPoint DMA66 controller and that sucked up 2 IRQ's, but I also had another mobo with a Promise DMA66 controller and that only sucked up 1 IRQ, which is obviously better. So I'm thinking of getting a new RAID mobo and want to minimize the IRQ's that get sucked up by the RAID.
