pci

it's a good card, i'm using a 66 version of it.

basically, it gives you two more ide chains, that means you can hook up 4 more ide devices to your computer, WHICH means, you can plug up 4 more hard drives, or 2 hard drives and two cd-rom drives, or whatever you'd like to the computer, normally a computer is limited to four devices, this gives you more options, plus that card may give you raid capabilities depending on the model.

my comp has:
one cd drive
one cdr drive
and 5 hard drives

currently.
