OK, here's a link to MS KB article that discusses software-based RAID. Note, however, it talks about RAID-1 (mirrored), not RAID-0 (striped), and further states that this is not available for XP Pro. Since you're talking about Photoshop swap files, I assume you're looking for RAID-0...

I can't speak for software RAID, since I never used it, but no hardware-based RAID I've ever used--whether SCSI, ATA, or SATA--will let you do that. Those RAID arrays are created at physical drive level, not at logical partition level.

Why don't you ask NewEgg directly?

OK, so we've established that the USB controller on your mobo is USB2.0. Now, under the Device Manager, change the View to "Devices by Connection" and make sure that the 9-in-1 reader shows up under the "Enhanced Controller." If it does--then the reader itself may be a 1.1 device. You could...

Check the Device Manager under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" and see if you see something like "USB 2.0 Root Hub" or something that indicates the presence of a 2.0 controller. AFAIK, "USB Enhanced Controller" is USB2.0, and USB "Universal Controller" is USB1.1. Does your Device Manager...

Have you verified that the 9-in-1 media reader is USB2.0, and not USB1.1?

OK, problem solved. I had installed the Leadtek version of the Nvidia driver, then Nvidia one, and somehow along the way it corrupted DirectX 9.0c. I reinstalled 9.0c and all is well.

I bought a new Leadtek A6600 6600GT AGP video card today. My system specs are: Athlon XP 2500+ Asus A7N8X Deluxe 1GB Corsair XMS DDR400 Win2K Professional SP4 DirectX 9.0c The 6600GT replaced an old Radeon 9600 card. I've got the Dualview feature enabled. The primary display is a...

Well, what's the difference between the two XP machines? Are they both Home or Pro? Do they both have SP2? Are the firewall settings the same on both machines? More info please!

Thanks for all the replies, guys. In the end I decided to hold off on the new rig and ordered just the video card to get some gaming improvements. I got Leadtek A6600 6600GT card for $151 AR from NewEgg. So, my current computer will look like this in a couple of days time: Athlon XP...

OK, I just changed the video card from 9800 Pro to 6600GT, based on comments here and also the review on Anandtech. Thanks.

Well, that Sapphire 9800 Pro card is $124. The cheapest 6600GT card at NewEgg is $158. X800Pro cards start at $245!! I could consider the 6600GT for $34 more, but then I start playing head games... "hmm, only $40 more for 3200 Venice..." Gotta draw the line somewhere! Is the 9800 Pro...

I was going to replace only the video card on my current Athlon XP 2500+ setup, but decided to go for a new system. How's this setup for value/budget gaming? Athlon 64 3000+ Venice Soltek SL-K8TPro-939 Corsair ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR400 Leadtek A6600 6600GT 128MB (EDITED: changed...
