I'm looking at setting up my Old Dell as a File of NAS server with linux O/S. I'm wondering if I can set up RAID 1 with the MOBO in that Computer.

It's Pentium 4 - Dell Dimension 4500.

Also - Raid is new to me - can I use a standard 7200 IDE HDD as a RAID drive - or would I need a different technology to pull that off?
