what can we say! lol ya just about said it all...

instead of ide raid id get a 15k rpm seagate hd for primary and maybe a standar imb 60gxp for extra storage...the hd is the main computer bottleneck so fo sheazy its well worth spending the extra cash on the scsi...

crucial memory rocks, tho if ya can afford extra goto mushkins pc2400 ddr or crucials xms2400 ddr, both @300mhz ddr....sick!! 😀
