Well. I am upgrading my comp for better response in photoshop. I am currently using a ECS 741GX-M mobo ( I know it's not the best but good enough for the money) with 256 megs RAM powered by a Sempron 2200 (overclocked to Sempron 2800 at 2GHz). My primary drive is a WD 200GB 7.2k drive which serves me quite well so far.
However, I am adding another hdd of same capacity to my system and boosting the RAM to (256+ 512) MB. Basically I want to set up a RAID 0 in my machin for faster data access. The question is how can I do that leaving my exsisting boot drive/partitions intact. I am considering a Coutech PCI to ATA RAID card ( the cheapest I found from Newegg. Is there a better substitute for the same price range? ($30)).
By the way, my current hdd is cut into 4 pieces where three of the partitions share NTFS and the other one is consumed by SuSE 9.2.
