i'm not sure about the kinzu, but it probably says on their site. the salmosa has 2 switches on the bottom of the mouse. you can set it to 800 or 1800dpi. i use 1800. the other switch is polling rate....can use 125, 500, or 1000hz..i use 500

another important thing is the mouse feet. the salmosa has teflon feet (my fav)...the kinzu has polyethelene or something feet.. but what u like will depend on the mouse surface u use...i like glass mouse surface

[QUOTE="rock_solid"]

mine are seagate barracuda 7200.10

but i'm sure other drives are fine too

and just so you know, my 60% number isn't just a made up number. i measured before and after with HD Tune

That may be, but it doesn't make your computer 60% faster or even close, but your chances of losing all your data increases 2x if not more.

who said my computer is 60% faster? certainly wasn't me. i said my drives are 60% faster.

if you do the raid 1 and raid 0 at the same time on 2 drives, it's called a "matrix raid" http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=206&pgno=0

have you ever actually lost your information using raid?Jdbucc
nope i've had no problems at all.

my computer came with 2 drives in raid 1. that's where the drives are copies of eachother. it's cool, but i didn't really need it. so i broke the raid and had 2 independent drives.

later i learned how raid 0 could speed things up by making the drives work together. i figured i'd try it. what's really cool is i used intel matrix storage manager console and it let me migrate to raid 0 without losing any data. but to do this, you need a lot of free space on the drives. also, this is done from within windows, not the bios.

another cool thing, is that with just 2 drives, you could do raid 0 and raid 1 on them at the same time...like half of the disk space could be used for raid 0 and the other half raid 1. i don't do that, but i've read about it. this might just be available for intel raids..i'm not sure.
