    RAID Question

    http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=2682 If you look at the tests, in all but one or two the raid 0 160GB drives did better than the 74GB Raptor. I have the 37 GB Gen 1 raptor. The thing is I own all three drives currently. I'm going from a P180 case to the NSK2480 for space...

    RAID Question

    Yes yes, all well and good. the potential for failure is irrelevant. everything I've read has posters saying how failure is a big deal. i have not once... that is NEVER had a drive fail on me. Not to say it won't, but in the 30+ HD's I've owned, none have gone TU. That includes multiple hard...

    e6320 or e7200, OC options?

    Both seem to hit the 3.0 GHz level pretty easily with little extra cooling. I've got an Abit F-190HD mATX board. The bios doesn't seem to show the ability to set the ram divider. The board accepts 667/800 ram as well as 800/1066 procs. I can only assume that if it's a locked 1:1 clock, a...

    hrmmm, haven't thought about that. right now the PC being replaced houses my DVD collection (in full quality) and streams with only a hickup here and there and that's over wireless. if it were wired in to the router (like the HTPC is) would it not do even better?

    nope. no intent to upgrade HD's. All storage will be taken care of via the 400 GB drives, whether they're in a NAS or internal. the 36GB is good enough for all applications, etc. my expenses, as i see it, are: mobo proc ram gpu case power supply I think $800 should get me to where...
