A month or so back 3ware discontinued _ALL_ their 3ware Escalades, the 6xxx and the 7xxx, they have since then recieved so many mails that they've restarted development, support and production of them. With one 'minor' issue, they're discontinuing their 6xxx (32bit) series of cards. So I would recommend getting the 64bit 7xxx series directly instead. // Stefan
