Many people run successfully with PFS, and as you say it provides flexibility if you get a second rack. The overhead versus a non-rack-aware snitch is not significant. However if you are careful you should be able to switch to PFS or another rack aware snitch with no problems when you actually need it... :) =Rob -- =Robert Coli AIM>ALK - rc...@palominodb.com YAHOO - rcoli.palominob SKYPE - rcoli_palominodb
