Ian -
Thanks for the info. The Gigabyte 8ik1100 looks like a
good alternative to the 8knxp board, and I might be able
to save a few bucks. If I read the specs right, the differences
seem to be that the 8ik1100 has:
no "dual power system" (DPS)
no onboard ata133 raid
100Mbit rather than gigabit ethernet
doesn't come in an onboard scsi version
Does anybody know what this "dual power system" is?
Should I care about it?
I don't much care about the gigabit ethernet, and if I go
with scsi, I won't care about the onboard raid. Paul
Shippert's warnings about onboard scsi make me nervous
about the 8knxp-ultra. So the "dual power system"
might be the only reason to go with the 8knxp, rather
than the 8ik1100, but since I don't know what it is, I don't
know if it matters to.
Thanks for any info on this.
