WD CaVIAR BLACK 1TB
HITACHI Deskstar P7K1000 1TB

Why the SLI board with an ATI card?

I think the only motherboard avaliable for Core i7 supports both SLI & Crossfire.

It's interesting that you'd choose one WD 1TB drive + 1 Hitachi 1TB drive?

In the US. OCZ 6GB DDR1600 kit seemed to be $100USD cheaper than equivalent Corsair sticks.

I'm pretty sure that all the boards that can do SLI for the i7 will do Crossfire... but not all the boards that can do Crossfire will do SLI

Yea the eclipse board supports both.
and why is interesting to choose the WD and Hitachi?
im not gonna use raid.. i like having two different drives. but is having the same brand any more beneficial?
Ill look into the OCZ ram but is it a better than the corsair is the question? and corsair is more attainable.

No, usually people picking the same drive capacity would just buy two of the same drive. Just kind of different that you're buying 2 1TB drives w/ different brands.

Yeah I think the idea is, if you like the WD drive, why not buy two? Same question with the Hitachi.
