Yeah well I heard the Intel chipsets are much better for raid 0 then nvidia. Not sure if P45 is better with raid then X48..
I have a question about raid. When you raid 0 say 2 150GB velociraptors do you get 150 GB or 300GB? Do they combine? Or do they think its one hard drive so I get only 150GB?
And also when one of the hard drives in raid 0 dies.... What happens? Does the other one not work and have to reformat? Thanks
I don't know I am doing some hardcore gaming so raid is fine with me. Data loss is fine, I am not losing much... What my programs and OS? Although they do cost an arm and a leg.
You get 300GB. If one dies, all your data on both drives is 100% irrecoverably gone. Unless it's backed up, you'll never get it back. You'll have to format both disks and start over.
I though in the the IC review of the TRUE the finish was actually decent on the extreme good finish just not perfectly leve, and the convexness was little enough i wouldn't bother trueing it up.

I will be doing a lot of video editing, file compression, video encoding stuff like that.
Also will I need DDR2 800 speed ram if I am going 8GB of it? or should I go with a high speed ram of DDR2 1066 and get 4GB of that?
I guess I am confused because I was originally going with 8GB of 1066 speed RAM, I have been reading that much RAM at that speed will effect my overclock.
Yes. OCZ, G.Skill, Corsair, Crucial, Patriot, Kingston, Geil, Mushkin... they're all good brands.
Many of us like OCZ however because we get excellent customer service from RyderOCZ and the rest of the people there. Their warranties are also very nice for such a competitively priced product.

Look into the Biostar TP45 motherboard. They're pushing crazy FSB in the 600s to low 700s.
Raid 0 probably isn't the way to go, especially using the onboard controller. You're better off with a single VRaptor or going SSD.
For fans, Scythe makes some bangin' 120mm blowers. They have them at Newegg. Look into them.

Or maybe I can also run a mirror on my storage what raid is that ? raid 5 or 1 The raid where you copy the files onto another hard drives.
Ill do that with my storage just in case, because I am constantly encoding and compressing large video files (Film maker).
As for the raid 0, its only got my OS and programs on it so its not a big deal.
Ahhh You can never lap enough. Lap lap lap!
I am hooking w/e sound card I get to Logitech z5500 speaker system.

I might change my mind but it would be wise to wait a little more.
