I'm looking to set up an old P3 Celeron as a fileserver for my house but as the board is too old to have many RAID options built in, I'd like to know what you guys would suggest for an affordable RAID 5 controller card w/ 4+ SATA ports. Performance doesn't have to be top notch since it's only a 1.2GHz CPU w/ 512MB RAM.

Thanks.
 
Does your P3 motherboard have a PCI-X slot??

anyway, you can try looking at Adaptec 2410SA. it also works on PCI slot but limited by the PCI bandwidth.
 
Unfortunately the P3 board doesn't have a PCI-X slot. How limiting will the PCI slot be? Will a three disk RAID 5 saturate the 133Mb/s? I'll be using three 250GB 7200rpm drives.
