Not my intention to bash anyones elses setup, and for the 
record, it is only my personal opinion that as the speed and 
nubmer of processors increase in the Mac, that the PCI based 
systems will become more of a thing of the past, the processing 
has to come from somewhere though whether more processors 
inside or out.  

I just don't want people to doubt the power that they actually have, 
they just hear the hype that you have to have "TDM cards" for real 
horsepower, when it is really amazing, and sometimes 
completely on par with what the host processor is capable of in a 
correct configuratiion. Its like the whole Glyph Drive marketing 
hype, they are the greatest repackagers of existing Seagate 
Drives, housing them in a shiny case, and charging double the 
price, but really no more capable than any other Seagate SCSI 
drive, and in some cases no more capable than a 5200rpm VST 
FireWire drive(80 tracks +).

Sorry if I came across as bashing, not the intention.
