I would stick with the Promise brand raid controller cards that are capable of supporting Raid 5

also; will you be running 64 bit windows or a 32bit version

the PCI-X slot raid cards smoke the PCI slot type ??

Same with the PCI express X 1 slot cards they are pricier, but the bang for the buck is there!
