What I was trying to suggest was that the 3Ware system with the Intel
Quad-Core processor would likely be faster than the Dual Dual-Core Opteron
system even with the same number of disks because of how much faster its
controller is, and the fact that the 3Ware+Intel system has twice as many
disks just increases how much faster I'd expect it to be.
