I have to say that the nForce chipset is good under Xp or XP Pro... But under Win 2K or 98SE you are not getting the most out of the board. BTW if you got cash to burn I always buy IBM hard drives. They are the fastest IDE drives on the planet. I put a IBM ATA 100 drive up against a Seagate Ultra 160 SCSI drive (Adaptec controler card), and the IBM beat it down... by 10MB per sec though put. IBM has a 16BM cache model that is out or is coming out soon. I have been a tech for 8 years now. I don't really like MSI or GIGABYTEmyarse boards... I have found that FIC and ASUS are the best consumer boards you can buy... If you have any ??? pm me at

check out the nforce2 chipset motherboards, been getting great reviews for
amd machine

can easily disable onboard sound on most motherboards

IDE drives are pretty fast these days, probably don't need RAID, look into
getting a Western Digital special edition with the 8 meg cache, i just
picked one up and they blaze.

nothings too big for a hard drive =P
