    RAID 0+1 Array on ABIT TH7-II-RAID???

    I'll give that a shot BD313. I didn't actually forget it... just didn't get that far down the options list. When I've set them up prior... say two striped arrays or two mirrored arrays... I've always configured the arrays first, then went down to that option and specified which array was the...

    RAID 0+1 Array on ABIT TH7-II-RAID???

    I?m having a problem with an ABIT TH7-II-RAID board in setting up the RAID array. I?ve set up striped arrays and mirrored arrays but never the combination of the two before (RAID 0+1). A friend purchased the board about a year ago and set up a striped array. He liked the access speed but...

    Dual FC-PGA2 ?Tualatin? boards? Comments welcomed

    I?m not much of a ?tech forum? poster but I?d like some input thrown at me on this one if anyone is so inclined? With all due respect to AMD? I?m one of those fiercely-loyal types? and when it comes to processors & motherboards INTEL & ABIT top the list (ever since the day I toyed with my first...
