BTW nice machine you got there. Please post an update on how your Vista experience goes. Are you trying 32 bit or 64 bit?

I want to use this computer for development, home office use, video editing, store all home videos, media center, gaming, run linux in VM etc. Here is what I want: Core 2Duo 4GB RAM FireWire USB 2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Decent graphics card (nVidia 7900 xx) 5 or 6 - 750GB disks in RAID 5...

So, is there any work around for this 2TB limit per system in 32bit OS? How about the RAID5 volume limits in Vista 32bit? I heard that I will potentially run into driver issues with Vista64 bit. Any ideas?

Anyone has good luck with 3Ware SATA RAID cards on Vista? http://www.3ware.com/products/serial_ata2-9650.asp

Is there a good RAID controller for SATA drived that is supported in Windows VISTA?

I am trying to build a new Core2 Duo Vista PC and want to have around 5-6 SATA 750GB drives hooked up in RAID 5 setup. I want a reliable, good motherboard with Firewire, USB, sound, Gigabit network connections. Any motherboard suggestions? RAID 5 Experiences?
