So how do these cards measure up when put under the test? Lets see! After all, that’s what it’s all about, performance –and reliability!

My test configuration was as follows

• Abit mother board
• AMD Athlon 600MHZ CPU
• 128 MEG SDRAM
• 2-20 GIG Diamond Max ATA 66 drives
• ATI Rage pro video card

• Disk Cache was ON
• The Stripe size was 64K
• Partition size was 39GIG.

I chose two tests suites for my benchmarks. Sis Sandra 2000 -which is widely used and free. And Winbench 99 from ZDNet, both in Business Disk marks and High end Disks marks. Here are the results from the three cards side by side under Windows 98se using a FAT 32 file system and Windows NT 4.0 (SP6a) using NTFS.
