Hamm...yes~~ , i have seen certain kind of IDE raid card only about 34 US and provide 2 channel ATA 100. But does AMD athlon + PC motherboard = stable ??? I never test this and have some doubt about it. John LeMay writes:

Hi list:
The next month, i will setup a small server as maillist/web. But i could only afford a little money. Then i think of AMD. But i never used it to be server even in a very small envirement before.
I agree that an AMD would likely be a fine choice for a small server. I'll also point out that for around $35 US you can install an ATA100 RAID controller to provide some redundancy. From what I've seen this controller can be installed later and the drive moved. Don't try that with Windows! ;)
