correction.
aparentally the W thing has 2x8.
i dont know, so far i show that, when the video card goes from 8 to 16 it didnt make much difference. but when it goes to 1, it made more differeance, cut speed about 1/3.
and also i am seeing a lot of BENCHMARKS for sata raid0 that have nothing to do with platter speeds, and only reflect a bunch of RAM cacheing, caches in the os, and cachees on the drives, caches on the controllers.
so when you say 300, do you mean 300 ram to ram speed? or 300 Platter to OS ram speed?
dang with 4x 7200 sata drives i could hope to get a REAL 160, off of any connection, ok mabey 200, 4 platter sets pumping out 50 each.
hmmmm, so if its benchmarks and ram to ram speed, then you better go as high as you can get in pipelines, if its real disk to disk speeds, and disk to ram speeds , and the data is not 40megs endlessly repeated, then i say it oughta be good enough, but i donno, didnt get that far yet.
so basically i dont know, and i say its about time they set benchmarks for REALITY, who looks at the same 40megs they just wrote 20 times
and as a side note, who runs 8x AA when your already in 1900x1200 mode ?? ;-)
