You should try and understand something or at least ask somebody who does understand it, to get a clearer picture on what actually happens. Even if it doesn't mean much to you to understand something, doing so is the key to not looking like a fool on the Internet or being sued for defamation outside the Internet.

Wild claims cost companies lost business, they lose enough they'll sick their lawyers on you to seek damages.
I thought that was Chosen's main goal here...to understand why the difference of performance. Can't these forums be used as such? Whitepapers are good and all, but feedback here can be explained much better.

I agree..putting any blame soley on Asus is not the right way of doing things, but I really just took his post as wanting some answers.

Anyway, here are some more questions:

So when you talk about DMI and the 300MB/s limit, you are refering to the link between the northbridge and southbridge for the ICH controller..correct?

So what is up with the PCI reference for the ICH9/10 Raid controller in Everest?

Given the 300MB limit..how do people like Chosen and others explain higher seq read numbers. Overlocking? Something doesn't sound right.
