|   2.  Is the performance boost significant for PCI versus ISA cards
|       (when PCI are double the cost) ?

If your motherboard has (or can be flashed to have) the NCR SCSI BIOS,
you might consider the ASUS PCI-SC200 Fast/Narrow SCSI controller. This
card works very well with FreeBSD, and costs less than all Adaptec cards
I know of (including the ISA ones). See
