The megaraid cards are not true hardware raid. They are more like software raid running on a pci card. It's kind of like those softmodems from back in the day. Most of the emulation was actually hardware based. I believe support for these type of cards was dropped when we went to the 2.6 kernel. I would recommend and LSI Logic or 3Ware RAID card. They work much better.
Go back and look at the balance sheet again (pg 3). If you look under the heading you will see "(in thousands)". This means to take every dollar amount on the page and multiply it by 1,000. You will see that the Total Assets of the Foundation is over $36 billion with a B. B&MGF donated nearly $ 1.9 billion with a B in 2004.
If the Foundation only donated $1.88 million in '04 do you think they would of made a jump to $258 million in one donation the next year?
