[mythtv-users] Worlds most craptacular GF card (Hardware Warning)

[Rob Snow]

I have raid 0 on 4 40 gig drives (160 gig) and I use it for my storage
under Red Hat 8.  I use a seperate drive for the OS.  I can not tell of
any differnece but this could be due to the fact that I already have a
dual cpu setup with 1 gig ram and I think it is running as fast as it
can already.
