i think raid 0 is a great way to have fast drives until the prices of SSDs come down. just remember every time you add a drive to the array, you increase the chance of losing all your data, since it only takes one to fail to mess things up. but you can back up your most important stuff every now and then to be safe. that's what i do.
none and to all those that say vista works just fine - vista was inferior to XP in practically every way and was buggy from day one and 7 is much better than any system to come out YTD.Jdbucc
vista is undoubtedly more stable than xp. i never have vista crash to the point i have to restart my pc. i can always get to task manager and close the program. in xp, crashes often left the computer unstable and needed to be restarted. i read an article about this but i forget where it is. but msft definitely recoded how this works and it's much better in vista for sure.
Dont know when iam going to install it though as iam pretty happy with my Vista.

same here. i can get a legit, free windows 7 upgrade and i don't even know if i'm gonna use it (unless i get a SSD). i'm happy with vista and i'm not sure i'd even like the new windows 7 taskbar/start menu.
i preordered win7 for $50 and already sold it for over $100.
[QUOTE="fablefan1234"]Thanks the 5070 is the same price as the gtx 260 i found a good 600w psu with 2 6-pin pci-e connections Thanks for info. are you talking about the 5770? the GTX 260 beats it: http://www.techspot.com/review/209-ati-radeon-hd-5770/
[QUOTE="rock_solid"][QUOTE="MonsieurX"]4870 is cheaper than a GTX while having the same performanceMaoTheChimp
"same" is stretching it. i saw a test where they were both tested on 10 popular games, and the gtx 260 was the overall winner..... but yes it does cost a little more.
That test was on TomsHardware, and it was more than a "little bit" biased. One of the tests used (The Last Remnant) had incredibly poor ATI integration which led the GTX 260 to be "superior" to the 4870.
it's right here: http://www.guru3d.com/article/top-10-games-with-radeon-4870-1-gb--geforce-gtx-260-core-216-test/
