I've been doing upgrades lately, and in addition to going to a 950Mhz Athlon T-bird,
I paid an additional US$20 to get the RAID version of the ABIT KT-7 motherboard.

It provides IDE RAID to which I connected two 30G Maxtor (sorry) 7200 RPM ATA/100 
drives
in striping mode (for speed) which gave me a very fast 60GB "virtual-physical" disk. 
The
drives were about US$130 each for a total of US$280 for a very fast 60GB.  It's a 
GREAT deal faster than the previous "ordinary" drive pre-upgrade.
