Haha, yeah, I'm currently using round ones for my IDE drive, and as I said, I'd probably buy another 120 GB drive just for the IDE RAID, but maybe I'm better off just waiting and saving up for another 320 SATA to set up in a RAID. Well thanks for the help, cleared up many things. Now I just have...

No, I'm talking about my current setup using the 320 GB and 120 as separate drives. I made a separate partition for the OS and necessary programs, but I was wondering if I could move the Documents and Settings and Temp folder to a different partition. I'll stick with my current separate HDD...

Ah, thanks, I wasn't sure if you could set RAID up with different size hard drives without losing space or not. I do a lot of encoding as well so I'll keep that tip in mind. Also, as a side question, is there any way to move the Documents and Settings and Temp folders to another partition? I...

I thought 0 was striping the data?

Any advice?

Sorry, I hit Enter before I finished the post, but filled it in now.

I recently bought a 320GB (7200RPM, 16MB cache, Sata) drive. My previous drive was a 120GB (7200RPM, 8MB cache, IDE). I was wondering if I can set up a RAID 0 configuration with both of them. I have a P4P800-E mobo that supports RAID, but for RAID are you able to mix IDE with SATA? Also, would...

I just recently bought a new SATA drive I plan on installing the OS and all other files on it. I'm currently using an IDE drive and I was wondering if I'd have any problems running them both. It won't be RAID. Would I need to set the jumper on the IDE one to Slave, or just leave it the default...

Thanks for that link it helps a lot, but I was still wondering if anyone has their OS on a different partiton from the rest of the applications, and whether there's any problems in doing so since some programs seem to need to be installed on the C drive.

I currently am running a single partition 120GB hard drive. I plan on buying a new 320GB drive for christmas, and decided to run them both with partitions. What would be the best way to set them up? My idea would be to run the 320GB with 50GB for programs and the OS, 75GB for games, and the...

I'm planning on finally upgrading my old hard drive since I've already upgraded my entire computer, and I need help deciding which of these two would be better. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16822144701 This is a 250GB HD with a 16MB cache...

Haha, I've been having the same dilemma lately. I had a hard time deciding between the 940b and that Sony HS75P/B. Going with the eye-candy, I had to choose the Sony even though it meant sacrificing 2 inches. A warning though, I've been reading up on that monitor a lot and most people say the...

Yeah, I just built a new PC with an Asus P4P800-E mobo just about a month ago, so it'll probably be more than a year before I upgrade to PCI-E. I'm not too pleased with the video card because it does run very slow, I scored about an 1800 on 3dmark03. I didn't keep up with the X800's when they...

So I've decided I'm going to go with an AGP All in Wonder X800XT for $300 (My budget limit). Now I want it to last a year or so, since I just bought the mobo and don't plan on upgrading it anytime soon to PCI-E. Should I go with this card, or should I wait a while for the prices of the X1800's...

Ah, just noticed that the 915N isn't DVI. How big of a difference is there between DVI and Analog?
