hmm.. I wasn't planning on getting the one with the sas controller... the idea was to get a nice areca raid controller for the 16 disks that I'll be able to fit in my Chenbro 41416B case ;D I only need a could sata drives (raid 1) to fit the OS...
Oh, ok. If you're OK with booting off a single drive (and not the RAID volume) you could even get away with FILO then. But Linux would be nice so booting from a degraded RAID-1 works too.
Possibly the chipset can decode 16Mbit in which case you'll fit Linux without effort. 8 will require some care in building the kernel but it's quite doable.
right
do they make bios saviors for that size memory ?
No, but you can put any size LPC flash ROM in a LPC BIOS savior. The important question is whether the chipset can access all of 2Mbyte of flash.
