[ale] minimum hardware to enable UDMA66 capability ?

[Douglas Bridges]

If you are using a plug-in card for the drives, then your motherboard and 
CPU don't really matter. Obviously, you need a motherboard that supports a 
PCI card(anything Pentium and above). More importantly, you need to have a 
machine beefy enough for a RAID system to matter. What are you using this 
box for?
