what other factors?

right, so what do i have to do to get ANY WHERE NEAR THE 16.6 MEG/SEC
transfer
RATES CLAIMED by powercomputing when using the powerflyer gold.
TONY from powercomputing told me to get a blizzard 060(i have a scsi kit
with it,but not using the scsi side of it, and also i have 96 meg ram),
which i got (both my hd`s are about 14 months old), and it would fix this
slow problem up.

i have got it going a LITTLE FASTER but not as fast as i hope..
