Well after using my trusty BH6 (440bx) for 3.5 years, I thought it's time to move on. I ordered the following :

1.8a - $177
MSi 845 aru - $144
Samsung 2700 ddr 256mb - $86
2x40gig maxtor 7200rpm d740x's - $157

All prices including shipping. Anyhow I plan to run raid 0 on the 2 maxtor drives, will this cause any problems with the oc'ing of the 1.8a ?

I believe I can adjust the pci speed with the msi board if I am lucky to run at 150 fsb ?

thanks

From my experience I know that with raising the FSB the HDD performance usually drops. I think you might want to try to get to 166 MHz FSB to use PCI at 33 MHz again. 150 MHz will either give you 37,5 MHz PCI, which your IDE Controller might not like too well, or 30 MHz, where you'll be obviously loosing performance, too.
