"The LN2 or SS guys should be able to bump me off the top but only if they have a good storage system attached."

I'm not trying to make light of your fantastic score, but there lies the problem..no points awarded, no interest level. If PCMark 05 is outdated and prone to hacks, etc. I wish the Bot would make this the new standard. Will have to PM you at some point Steve for tips on a storage system.....is the new 1880 going to be the one to have?

Congrats on the record, I think you can squeeze more out of that rig.

Best bang for the buck xtreme storage -

option 1 - 4x intel x25-v on either ich10r (soon with trim) ~$500 or

a little faster - option 2 - same array on an LSI 9211-8i - ~ $730.

Yes, 1880 with 4GB cache (whenever that arrives) should be a killer controller, we will see soon.

If you use slow shipping methods or live far from the city, it may be obsolete by the time it gets to your door.

Generally oh so true - that said - in the storage arena - both the Areca 1231ML-2G/4G and the acard 9010s have been on top for a while and just now they may be beginning to show their age. LSI 9211-8i and 9260-8i is catching up to Areca and the 3rd generation SSDs (ocz vertex LE, owc mercury, maybe the crucial realSSD) are beginning to give the acards some competition.

Some of the new pcie direct connect storage devices like ioxtreme have the potential to be huge game changers
