Has anyone tried this card with Linux or BSD yet? Something on an Anandtech web forum say it works just like any SATA disk (use fdisk, etc.), and the article shows some BIOS screen shots of the SATA disk, but I haven't seen anyone try it on a non-Windows operating system.

Here's is a link to some interesting test info to show how reliable the disk performs in different failure modes.

I want one for my mail spool, MySQL bin-logs, /tmp, Apache logs, small MySQL transaction-driven tables, and any other place where I want reliable fast random writes. If I could cut down the number of writes to disks, I could use slower disks (or get more use out of my current disks).

The Pentium is really an old CPU design, and dual boards had a shared L2 cache architecture (pants).

Over-clock a Celeron in a BX motherboard, or even a dual BX board, and you'll get far better performance at around the same cost.

Check out this article at CPU Central. More relevant considering a lot of Celerons produced these days are Socket 370.
