I found a long discussion ("Dell vs HP") about the Perc/5, but nothing about Perc/6. What's under the covers? Here is the (abbreviated) info from Dell on this machine: PowerEdge 1950 III Quad Core Intel® Xeon® E5405, 2x6MB Cache, 2.0GHz, 1333MHz FSB Additional Processors Quad Core Intel® Xeon® E5405, 2x6MB Cache, 2.0GHz, 1333MHz FSB Memory 8GB 667MHz (4x2GB), Dual Ranked DIMMs Hard Drive Configuration Integrated SAS/SATA RAID 5, PERC 6/i Integrated Thanks, Craig
