What is the best you could build for a budget?

Wired · 09-18-2006, 02:59 AM

does the motherboard have to have raid ports or does is just use sata ports? or is there such thing as a raid port, in other words can someone find a board that has 800 MHz RAM dual channel ddr2 the e6600 cpu and capable of doing a raid with 4 hard drives. furthermore what is sataII? It would be nice if someone could configure a system with all these features, also the videocard could be added later, just the system for now or with a really cheap vid card just to get a picture.

I dont need the SLI I might get it with my next one when its cheaper...

That might be out of your budget. You stated $1000-$1500

SATAII = 300MB/s
SATA = 150MB/s

You need to get a motherboard that supports SATA RAID. There are no "RAID ports"
