ABIT KT7-Raid ? Master/Slave???

I am redoing my computer I just got because of video card problems. I have the ABIT KT7-RAID While I am at it, I am wondering if I should change how the Raid has been configured. I asked the company who put my machine together to put the system drive (IBM Deskstar 30 gig) on IDE 3 and then stripe the other two IBM drives together (RAID 0) on IDE 4. I chose to put the system drive on IDE 3 because IDE 1 and 2 don't support ATA 100, only ATA 66. The company didn't follow my instructions and put the system drive on IDE 3. Instead they put in on IDE 1 and then attached 1 drive to IDE 3 and the other to IDE 4 and somehow striped them together. When I asked them about it. They (not to confidently) said the stripped drives together would work better on separate IDEs than hooked together in Master/Slave configuration. Does this make sense or improve performance and if so would performance outweigh being able to have system drive run at ATA 100? Any opinions would be appreciated?

Thanks

Keep it that way. Your system drive will be fine on ata66 and the benefits of having your ide drives on separate channels far outweight having all of your drives utilizing ata100.
