My advice is 1, check the overclockers.com CPU database for the processor you want to buy and see what other people are using for a motherboard, and 2, check the Intel motherboard forums here for more information as to what people are using. The what motherboard is best question comes up all the time there and there are lots of detailed discussions about various motherboards available as a result of it.

if you'll never use it....save your money. get non-raid, I did.

on the other hand, AFAIK most RAID controllers can be used as normal IDE controllers, giving you the ability to run an extra four IDE devices.

well, i personally would get raid and use raid 0 (striping). It increases performance dramatically.

I might get the 2.26b, p4t533 with raid. The only thing i hate about the p4t533 is that it's not backwards compatible with the standardized rimm modules.
