I always advise people, when they ask, to skimp on CPU and spend more on
storage. If your CPU costs just ~$70 (AMD K6-3 400), you can spend some
more on good SCSI. So, yes, it is. The Adaptec is a rippin' good card.

This is assuming you want a reliable, fast workstation or server. If you
want a non-critical appliance (games, Web, email, Word), no sense using
your money on SCSI.
