I don't do video editting or audio things. i may download an occasional mp3 files, other than that, it will be used mainly for gaming.

I'd expect them to be smokin' in RAID 0 (I may end up trying that myself) with a hardware controller. They come in 150 gB sizes - but I never filled the 36 or the 74 gB Raptors that I had before. -------------------- - John If you need a more detailed explanation, please ask for it.

But I doubt you'd notice the difference outside benchmarking. -------------------- "Anyone who cannot form a community with others, or who does not need to because he is self-sufficient [...] is either a beast or a god."
