bob4432 - I based my decision on trying the RAID 0 approach because I read this article. On my current gaming rig - I'm set up with a WD Raptor already as my boot drive and my data drive for other items is a normal 7200 SATA. Thus based on article -- RAID Ravages Raptor -- I thought I'd try RAID 0
Late4Dinner -- If your post was meant to be helpful -- thanks. I kinda of found it to be an "off" suggustion as the difference in a 19" monitor and a projection unit and the space needed for it to throw a projection and the wall needed for the projection -- seems to be quite different then...

Hi -- going to buy one of these bad boys ... and was wondering wondering if there is any difference at all between the ATI product and the OEM solutions ... at this point for the X1900XT card. Is there any reason to pick one mfg over another ... or is the only difference right now the best price...
