Motherboard: IWILL DK8N

Processor : Opteron 248

Bus Clock Rate Random Access Memory (4x512MB)

2- 120 GB WD 7200RPM 8MB cahce IDE

“I would not recommend RAID 0 without an adequate backup solution for your main system drives. RAID 0 has no redundancy and you will eventually be burned by loss of data.

The reliability of a RAID 0 array decreases dramatically as you add more drives. The speed increase isn't worth the loss of data.

I would use a smaller 15K rpm SCSI drive as your OS drive and use a larger IDE/SATA drive for everything else.”

– so what I would like to ask. How do I setup a SCSI drive and then one with IDE – is it possible to do that? and would there be any significant diffrence ir i use a SCSI?

Display Card 1- GFORCE 6200 OR GFORCE FX 5900XT 128mb OR Nvidia 5700 ultra

http://www.hothardware.com/viewartic...?articleid=438 - what about the 6200 .. anyone can help me out there?

Hey Thats Cool. But what is your personal opinion on Dual Xeons I hear they are perfect for 3D rendering. I saw some benchmarks, it seems that dual Xeons work better than dual Opterons but i don't know.
