[QUOTE="X360PS3AMD05"]Wait for the 5770/50s, i think they will be out soon, who knows you might get a better card for the money/power consumption. OneLazyAsian

I'm on a limited budget right now. I don't go $200+ to spend on the 5770/50s.

you wouldn't even want a 5770. a gtx 260 beats it: http://www.techspot.com/review/209-ati-radeon-hd-5770/

buying any DX11 card right now is a mistake. wait a year and buy one then.

[QUOTE="d-rtyboy"]Well, you have to change the settings in the BIOS and then after the POST you have to press a combination of keys which is in your motherboards instruction manual. Then in the menu set up the RAID array. You then have to (re)format the hard drive and reinstall your OS. My experience with RAID is that it doesn't help performance that much. It's handy if you have a large amount of storage drives and you just want to make it one drive to clean up the mess in Windows Explorer, but if you're looking for a performance boost you're not really going to see a very big one if one at all.

you don't always have to format and reinstall. that's only if you have to do it from the bios. i went to raid 0 with no data loss. check to see if you can run intel matrix storage manager console from within windows. also, i get a good performance boost. +60%
