Oh! I HAVE a fan on the BX, but I dont know if that was the Real Cure. I
just put a small Pentium fan over the chip, I had one at work in the BP6
there, and it didnt make it more crashy so I thought it wouldnt hurt :) But
then again, I somehow think this could run just fine without.

Hmmmmmm.... :) Is this software RAID or does the card handle it in hardware?
