[quote incognegro]Not sure if the ACARD would help, though it does attach to the SCSI chain rather than the IDE bus, which should (in theory) take some load off the CPU, since IDE is handled by the CPU and SCSI by the controller.
Specs for the bridge say "SCSI host interface synchronous transfer rate up to 20 MB/sec."
That would be slightly faster than the ATA bus, and might unload the processor. I don't know how well that would play with Tiger (10.4). It is nice though that it does not occupy a PCI slot.
