Well...it took long enough! I`ve had the card for a week or 2 but had trouble sourcing cheap RAM but got it sorted so.... here we go!!

First of all, I couldnt get XP on the Spinpoint to see the I-RAM although it showed up fine in BIOS. The only way I could get it to be seen was to install XP Pro on it. I tried formatting through the XP installation screen in BIOS then restarting the computer but it kept blue-screening.
First performance number: From entering my XP code to dropping into the desktop (including entering my name and restarting when installation was complete) the time it took was....3 minutes 35 seconds. eh? You gotta be kidding right?
Next up was a reboot after changes some settings. The scrooling blue bar didnt appear!!! From "restart" to back into desktop in less than 10 seconds!
