Uber gaming system advice wanted

[slkcrab]

Ok, my next system is gonna be 2.6c, P4C800-E I'll keep my 9700 Pro and Fortismo III.

Now, what would the best HDD setup be? I'm not gonna say money is now object, price has to be reasonable. Would a HDD dedictaed to the OS and another for storage, what about games?

Thanks in advance!

Well about the most uber setup (aside from SCSI RAID) would be raptors in a RAID. A little more practical might be a raptor for the os and other important stuff and then another drive for storage.

SCSI is just a tad too 'spensive. Now for a stoopid question. How do you set up the Raptors? If I could bother you for a step by step, I'd really appreciate it. thanks!

raptors just plug into the onboard SATA (think the board you mentioned has SATA connections), and it gets seen just as easy as a PATA drive but just a little later on in the post. But I'm not sure what your storage requirements are but for me a 2 disk RAID 0 raptor and a 80gb PATA drive would be perfect. put games, os, and any other files that need fast accessing on the raptor RAID array, and all mp3's and media and things like that on the PATA.
