HW Advice

If you just wanted to tweak around with your system you could always RAID the hard drives.

Not sure if any of you guys read anandtech at all, but they've got a great budget gaming pc guide for November up. Here's a link to the Intel version, can't beat it for the price I'd say.

Yeah, the mobo does support RAID, but in 1 I'd get a capacity of 160 (wasting the 40 extra of the 200) or in 1 I'd get 320 (still losing space). I don't really think its worth with this one, I'll def be using RAID for my next build though. If I had bough two of the Seagate 160Gb SATAs last year the Thurs b4 black Friday, it was $20 after the rebate

for the price and performance, no. ddr2 is still the way to go for now.
