Ok, further down the line im looking at getting a SATA PCI controller card and getting 2 SATA HDs and setting up a raid 0 for my system drive.
Does the PCI bus have enough bandwidth to realize the full potential of this setup? Nothing else is on my PCI bus right now, so the card would have full reign of all available resources.
Secondly, Id like to keep 1 IDE drive for storage and also keep my DVD/CD drives which are also IDE. Would the controller card interfere with the onboard IDE or should they all work together?
Im assuming my second question is yes, but the first one Im not to sure about bus speeds in relation to HD transfer speeds.
