<DIV></DIV>I have built quite a few quad-core machines. Mostly AMD, a few
Intel. All of them SATA. Recently, I have built 2 RedHat servers for the
University of Maryland, all SATA. SCSI is good, no doubt, but expensive. SATA
is fast, stable, and cheap and certainly considered and used for server use.
