Hi Brenton, I'm just waiting for a frind to finish some tests with a SSL accel. card from VIA. The prices are very expensive for average users, but it's a market with high demand and we expect better prices in few months. I'll be glad to let you know the model and compatibility X performance results when these tests are done. Keep in touch, HTH.
