System will be used mainly for gaming. Not sure if I want to do RAID 0, is there a substantial performance increase with it?
P5Q Deluxe
E8500
Thermalright Ultima-90
Mushkin DDR2 1066
PC P&C Silencer 750w
2x WD6400AAKS 640GB SATA HDD's
1X WD1600YS 160GB SATA HDD
1) What would be some array options for these 3 drives?
2) If I do use RAID 0 is my onboard ICH10R good/easy enough to set it up or is a separate hardware RAID controller recommended?
3) If I do RAID 0 should I short stack? Say a 100GB RAID 0 array for OS/Apps/Games
Any help you can offer this 40 year old noob would be greatly appreciated.
