Has anyone tried an ACARD 6890M found at

 http://www.acard.com.tw/english/fb01-product.jsp?idno_no=125&prod_no=AEC-6890M&type1_title=Adapters&type1_idno=3

The specs state it's a dual channel SATA RAID card offering RAID 1 mode. I would like to know how well this card might work out

Dual 1.6Ghz processors are on their way. I can't wait to get this G4 running at it's best
