I'll be doing general-family-pc + video work/encoding, already have backup thru lan, should I use Raid 0 or 1 or should I just use udma as I've always done? will probably just use normal ide-udma drives & will be messy around at times with ocing
 
Serial ATA (SATA) Raid (raid0) uses much thinner cables (I think they're like 4-wire or something) and is slightly faster than Parallel ATA (PATA) using a really good harddrive. PATA is what people have been using for years... with those big-ol' honkin' stiff, grey IDE cables. SATA is relatively new.

To answer your question.........

That is what I use my cpu for also.
I have never had any stability or corupt issues with my Raid 0 set up. It is faster than Ultra and XP thinks I hace a 60g hard drive instead of my two 30g.
