Speaking of which, is there anyone who wants to sell me 2 16meg simms
for a [678]100 or 840av really cheaply?  4 8meg simms might also be
acceptable, but I'm not sure if they work with the 840av.  I want enough
ram to get it working decently without having to cripple my 8100 which
I've started using more and more.  I have the 840av.  I have an ATTO 4D
scsi card for it (someone heard what I wanted to do with this card and
so sent it to me for free), and come Tuesday, I will have a hardware
raid array, and enough harddrives to saturate the SCSI chanel.  The idea
is to see exactly how does the performance of the 840av change,
especially with regard to the build in video capture, when given a disk
this fast.  I'll be starting with just bench marking the subsystem under
different setups, then will be moving on to testing various capture
setups (boy I really wish I had a nuvista card right about now) with the
system.
