Hey, I just went to tech-report and learned something about built-in
RAID controllers.

"IDE RAID would have been nice here, because even if you don't use the
RAID functionality, you still get two extra IDE ports. The ability to
connect eight IDE devices to a motherboard is great in its own right,
but even better when you can connect four devices without having to
share any IDE channels."

That sounds great, but does that arrangement require more IRQ's?
