I'm sitting down to put this thing together tonight and am looking for some info sources on what bios settings to use OR disable.
I'm not looking for cpu or memory settings I can find plenty of info on those.
Example-
I have 2x36 gig WD raptors I want put into a RAID 0. I remember reading somewhere to disable some of the SATA ports? I don't remember which ones. Setting up the raid on XP was easy enough when I did it for a friend, but there was no overclocking involved on that build. It was an Intel board with the Ich5r controller or the silicon image. I used the Ich5r because I didn't like the silicon image at the time. I'm thinking I won't use it this time either.
I also want to know the preferred SATA controller. That is which one uses less rescources and might possibly be faster, more stable,etc.
Any good online guides as to what options to use on this mobo if it's going to be overclocked?
