Past recommendations for a good RAID card (for SCSI) have been the LSI 
MegaRAID 2x. This unit comes with 128MB of RAM on-board. Has anyone 
found by increasing the on-board RAM, did Postgresql performed better?

Thanks.

My informal tests showed no difference between 64MB and 256MB.

I'm sure there's some corner case where more memory helps. If you 
consider that 1GB of RAM is about $100, I'd max out memory on the 
controller just for the hell of it.

William,

QUite possibly.   These were not scientific tests.
