I've the Abit board too, and though I've not actually installed an OS on
it (my brother sold me Celerons without heatsinks - they reach 100C in
under three minutes without them, so I've not used it for long periods of
time), but longword at domain indigo.ie tested the IBM GXP22 drive with a HPT336 PCI
card (it's the same ATA66 chipset that's on the Abit BP6).
He reckoned under linux, with a patched 2.2.12 kernel, he was getting
18MB/sec sustained read, off a single drive (1GB read in 58.18 seconds,
with 16% CPU usage). There are problems - doing a disk-to-disk copy, the
thing fell out of DMA mode when both channels were stressed. Under
Windows, with the drivers that ship with the card, he's getting a
disk-to-disk copy of the same file in 1:57.28 - 9MB/sec.
Really nice boards. I've a pair of 400's for mine. Can't wait to see how
high they clock. Wonder could I get 600Mhz out of them...
