I am looking at getting my hands on a couple of Dell PowerEdge 4300 servers.
In both of these boxes I must spec a hardware RAID controller.  I basically
have two choices.

First is a multi-channel controller that has the Adaptec 7897 chipset.  It
is a 4 channel controller.

The second is an American Megatrends based controller.  It is only 1
channel.

I have read conflicting statements in the list archives about whether I can
make these puppies run.  Can I get either one of these to work without much
rigging?  If both can be used... which one is better/easier and more likely
to work well?

On a completely separate note...
anybody have opinions on the best high end video card for x-windows?
Thank you!
