Well, after moving my computer from temporary housing to a new apartment, I implemented RAID 0 on my two 320GB drives.

Here's the performance...not what I wanted. Anyone know why?

And all of a suddent, I am getting "the nVidia display driver failed to respond but has recovered" messages when I play games. What gives!!??!!

Modified the Intel Matrix Configuration to enable write caching and voila! Much better!! :woot:

it's a rare day when you hear that someone had a HD fail on them so Raid-0 is more common now for practicle means like gaming and video than any other raid format. Those that have critical projects on their PC tend to like the piece of mind of a Raid 0+1 setup (Raid 10)

What is this Intel Matrix thing everyoe is on about?can i get it on my nforce4 board?

Sam,

Matrix raid is about mixing different Raid types on single raid array, and its not a new, just see it as a hybrid raid type.

Unfortunately this feature only available at Intel ICHxR chipset, so the answer is no for your nforce4 board.
