hugmeOk... so I have the new fileserver mostly built. The drives are ready and in place... they controller cards work... but there is a problem
The controller cards are PCIx 133.... I have 3 motherboards that have PCIx slots... 2 of them are 66 and one is 100... NOTHING is 133
suck
I'm not sure what I want to do... I don't want to buy more hardware for this thing but it's not looking like I have a choice.
sigh... we will see...
