8ms

//These in RAID have unbreakable performance. And why would you need more space if you have such a great DVD writer?

Their RAID performance wont help much for applications and games. Only with mass xfers ... but since you've only f got 74GB there wont be much mass xfering. As for more space .... your DVD burner cant burn fast enough to stop a datastream coming in from the gigabit line

No need for a dual channel kit when the CPU doesnt support dual channel (save your money)

Not bad for $1889,70, uh huh

Not bad at all ... would spent more money on the infrastructure tho (proc, video) myself
