You loose speed in ATA, in SCSI it’s less of an issue because of the agressive use of the disconnect feature which gives each drive

The Intel i7205 chipset utterly drowns any AMD chipset in raw bandwith … if money’s no object the best performance lies with one of those

400 MHz DDR would be very much overkill. Remember, the chipset’s only rated to 266 MHz, albiet dual channel (for 533 MHz of effective bandwith).
