 I bought one a while back and have never looked back. It's a dual channel 32/64bit pci card that runs at 33MHz. This means it can run on any standard PC's PCI bus. One of the channels can take the old (50 pin) SCSI drives and CDROMs. It's LVD compatabile with a 160MB/s bus speed. It supports booting and you can flash upgrade the firmware on the card for free from adaptec's site. The cards is supported by all OS's ive tried it on.
