That's my thinking as well - BTW, this server has 64 bit, 66 MHz PCI slots, 
not PCI-X or PCI-Express (it is a PIII Xeon system after all). Some of the 
cards I mentioned supported 66 MHz operation, IIRC.

I guess the real *bonus* for going SATA "II" would be the ability to use the 
newer functions (like NCQ), but that would require more expensive HDs, which I 
probably won't want to "waste" on such an old system...
