Too right. Not meaning to advertise, but I find IBM's are very good.
They do require a large amount of cooling though. I have had a two
machines with overheating problems. One had two 4G IBMs in it and a
Cyrix chip, in a mini-tower case (not my idea !). Note that the
overheating was causing the chip to overheat - the drives seemed to
cope.

Cheers,
Rik
