Hey!

Right, im thinking about putting a Raid 0 on my system, which would mean buying another IDE 200GB HDD, but i have a few questions.

1) Does my mobo support IDE Raid 0 already?, it defo supports SATA but only heard about IDE Raid the other day-reading these forums.

2) Will Raid 0 actually do anything for me? I mostly use my pc for games and downloading files (which means a lot of unzipping etc), I know Raid 0 help with video editing etc but would it speed up Loading OS, loading Games, unzipping files?

3) Does it have to be an identical HDD? (like for dual RAM), or will any 200Gb 8mb cache work fine?

4) Did I miss anything? Oh ye, if I do get IDE raid 0, will I have 400 gb right?

Thanks for your help, my sig has pc spec for mobo etc.
