    not on that board, but the logic is the same, I have ran Veritas on many various arrays and encapsulated root drives in a 12xRAID-0. And yes it is fast! I have nothing to prove to you! You can find a eval version of Veritas for Win2000 from kazaa, bit torrent and the like. I don't mind...

    extremely unwise? Veritas Volume Manager will do it with out an issue. Nothing wrong with software raid. Did I say it was 1 controller? Get over yourself punk!

    Storageflex S60 Fastest Copper HDD Solution Period?

    no prob, I could get a 20GB for $6000.00 FFD , and that goes into a ATA interface ? Looks like IBM Shark and EMC DMX is falling behind for SAN speed.

    My First System Build - Advice Please

    I would use the Nvidia controller, the nForce4 made some advances in SATA controller. To what end you will need to goto nVidia's site and check them out. The nVidia NIC is better too, it reduces usage of the CPU for network.

    need help on video card

    Sure you will , things (games) will stay residant in memory longer which causes shorter load times, the system will overall perform better. Hes just razzing ya cause the RAM choise is enthusiast level where the video card is not.

    Fastest HD system for desktop?

    Here is a copy paste from other my responce to this question! RAID-0 with 2 drives on a crappy motherboard controller with no cache memory is a waste. I agree. You need more than 2 spindles to get a real advantage and a controller with some cache onboard to cache the RAID. For SATA...

    This is easy! for SCSI U320 Adaptec 2200S Dual Channel should take care of you. for SATA RAIDCore controller is the only way to go. Benches showed to be faster that U320 SCSI. (of course I need to see it to beleive it) I love my SCSI Solution, i did the research before dropping the $1600

    Thats ok, Well dual-channel is much faster of course, but you do what you can. You can see it in load times, mainly (realworld) but you would see a differance in performance overall. Just leave that upgrade for a later time. That is the beauty of Clones!! :) If your buying new get DDR...

    Monarch Computer, Major Problems

    I should have caused a bigger stink than I did I have to admit. Sometimes I get stuck in "They have it and I want it" type scenario. :P So I still use them sometimes. Like on the 2x 6800Ultra OC for 550.00 each type situation.

    This is all good news, ATI needs to keep it up as well as nVidia. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the new ATI card. Hopefully I don't have to wait forever and ever.

    At least they didn't tell you you had to pay a restock fee. I paid for testing once and they sent me RAM that was damaged (wouldnt go into windows) and made me pay restock fee for replacing it. They are bastards if you have an issue, but usually things go ok with my orders from them. Just hope...

    Need helping picking mobo?

    Right now nForce4 is the only chipset released for PCI-E on AMD64. The DFI board is probably the best. I love my Asus. You can get SLI or Ultra chipset. Cant go wrong with either in my opinion. Get the x800 Pro dont waste time with the x700, you will be sorry! I would agree to go...

    Get the socket 939, you will have CPU upgrade options in the future. Also, I have 2x6600GT SLI and in the mail are 2x6800Ultra OE. Let me tell you the 6600GTs are great cards for those of you on a budget, but when you crank AA and AF they loose performance. BigTime!! At that point the...
