[G4] Hard Drive

[Victor Jackson]

It was a SIIG Ultra ATA/133 PCI-R 2 channel controller card.  I bought it
since i saw it recommended at some sites I visited, but after installing it
with no results, I searched some more and found it was not compatible with
dual processors.

And I am running Tiger Server.

Thanks
