    Hi all, I need to choose one of the following boards to build a new system for our research application. 1) Supermicro X7DA3 2) Tyan Thunder K8WE 3) Supermicro H8DC8 The following requirements should be met- a) The PCI/PCI-X data trasfers should be at their full speed (i.e. even if I populate all the PCI/PCI-X slots with boards, they all should run at their full speeds). There shouldn't be any delays while transfering data b/n the cards and the memory (best PCI/PCI-X data transfers). b) the HDD r/w speeds should be very fast (atleast 121MB/s). thanks, -Pavan

      The only thing that's going to tell you this is your own testing. All the specs you listed are dependant on the hardware your putting into those slots and the hard drive your using. You're going to have to test it to see if meets your specs. Find a supplier that will let you test the board before you buy it outright.
