Speed breakage?? |
|
|
Hello,
I've got a Buslogic Bt-948, operating from an aging k6-2/450 system.
It works ok for my needs, and the onboard co-processing makes everything
run so smoothly ...
I was planning to upgrade the MB to a Duron 800, which apparently has 3x
the CPU speed. Before I do this, I would like to ask the group if this
extra cpu speed would break the usability of my fine classic scsi card?
If anyone happens to know?
Thanks,
Mel

It'll work fine but SLOW!
It you want a fast HD then get a late model 7200RPM ATA HD. |

I've been using some Quantum Atlas 10k drives. Seems they can
use the full bandwidth of the scsi bus ... :-)

No it will work fine, depending on the OS you have installed. The CPU has
nothing to do with it ... |

At the moment my pc is multi-hdd; I've been using Freebsd 4.9-stable,
os/2 (warp 3 connect), and occasionally dos/win3.1
I'm pretty sure the bsd won't break, it's from Oct 03 and it's the main
reason I'm upgrading, because Gnome runs annoyingly slow even though the
resource monitor shows 100mb free ram and an untouched swap file.
I'm not so sure about os/2 and dos/win3.1. Does anyone know if they'd
break on speed? The os/2 I don't care about too much anymore. The dos/
win3.1 is semi-important; because it's the only windows install I've
got, and I use Lotus/WP for my records :-)
Thanks
