I'm reinstalling a web server here at work and have come to realize that
what was touted to me as a good server really is, well, a piece of
monkey.Dooh.  Its an Intel 440GX+ mobo with onboard Adaptec 7896N chip
that can power LVD drives, yet someone decided to put in a desktop-level
Promise Fasttrack100TX2 in it and two IBM Deskstar drives rather than
some SCSI goodness.  Curious.

So, given that its only a dual 1GHz system running an Intel chipset,
would it be worth spending some money on getting a SCSI drive or two, or
should I just deal with the IDE drives?

Thanks.
