I'm getting close to 100MiBps sequencial reads using a 8GiB
file reads via Bonnie on my wife's Athlon XP2600+
(Socket-462, ViA chipset, 1GiB DDR266 SDRAM) with an old
3Ware Escalade 6200 and two (2) Western Digital 160GB drives.


It's clearly saturating her PCI bus.  Moving away from the
on-board ALC650 to an Audigy2 clearly addressed the sound
quality issues she was having because of the reduction in I/O
use for audio.
