Poor Support

I got an error trying to install this card. I do this for a living so I ought to be able to install a simple PCI card. But not this time. I spent the extra money on the name-brand card because I read about the Adaptec Support from other reviewers. Well first, their website was useless. The suggestions they had were'nt even close. Then I decided to talk to a live person - but wait! You need a credit card and have to pay $10 for phone support. So I e-mailed a detailed description of the problem to them. After 48 hours, no reply. I found a MS KB article that told me exactly how to fix the problem.

Fantastic Product

As with all Adaptec products I have used, this one worked right out of the box with no problems. Microsoft must have fixed the problem in Windows XP Pro, because I installed this card without any problem in a system running Windows XP Pro (SP2). You can't go wrong with this card and it's worth the slightly higher price to eliminate installation and support problems!

Everything worked right out of the box! The installation was flawless and the software worked. One tip might help, I installed this on Windows 98 SE and it helps to pop the installation disc in and print out the pages of the guide for your particular system and have them handy. Otherwise you will be at the mercy of the Windows installation wizard and it's choices.
