Oh wait, you're trying to build a performance system using an OS built for pushing pixels. Perhaps that is your biggest problem. Windows has its place, but high performance data transfer just isn't one of them. I guess if you've decided to spend a couple hundred on an OS license that gets you nothing you may as well blow another couple hundred to get hardware to go with it. tzanger (1575) <tzanger-sd.mixdown@org> on Thursday July 29, @09:24PM (#9839274) on slashdot.org
