I am looking to build a new computer for a friend and he wants to use the 939 socket. I suggested the nForce 250GB chipset, due to its reviews. I was thinking about going with the K8N NEO2 PLATINUM, but it seems that the 4 SATA connectors are all on the southbridge instead of 2 being there and 2 on a promise controller (or what have you).
Here is my question: Can he run a Raptor for the OS and Programs and RAID -0 two 160GB Drives on this controller. Or will I have to chose a board with separate controllers.
If I have to pick another board does someone have one to recommend. The system is going to be for video editing and for some gaming.
Components that have been chosen:
Athlon64 3800 / 3500
6800GT
Raptor
160 SATA Drives (2)
Sony Dual layer burner
2 GB RAM
Lian-li 1000v
Neo-power 480 PSU
Thanks
