Hardly of any importance for desktop users.

Would be relevant to desktop users if Adaptec SCSI cards are more affordable.

scsi controller £150 gf3 £250.

It's irrelevant not due to the cost but due to the useability and need.

No desktop computer has enough bandwidth for 320MB/s over the PCI bus, and even if it did, there's hardly any need for anyone to use them.

Large RAID5 arrays are obviously going to use it.

the faster you get that swap file from your hard drive and into memory the better. i would never go back to ide.
