My laptop: too embarassing to post (anything with intel integrated graphics is too embarassing to post) My PC: a little less embarassing Intel Pentium 4 HT 550, running at 3.4 Ghz (wouldn't dare overclock, it's melting through my pc floor already) 512MB DDR ram upgraded to 1024MB DDR - w00t! 256MB DDR nVidia Geforce 6600 (by leadtek - passivly cooled, and hasn't crashed on me yet) 250GB Western Digital Cavalier harddrive, partitioned into half, so the main system drive is labelled "I" and the rest is "J" 17 inch unbranded 4:3 monitor it has a front component input, which is dead useful and a multiformat card reader, which doesn't work anymore for some reason (the light works, though) 2 disc drives, one is a burner a floppy drive

I'm going to build a new computer. There were some... ehem, complications regarding a $2600 Newegg purchase and the freeze and subsequent irreversible shutdown of one of my dad's credit cards, the use of a second credit card, the freezing of that one, the unfreezing of that one, and the current confusion as to the state of the transaction. Parts I got: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (Will overclock to 3.2 GHz or something) EVGA nForce 790i 2 EVGA GeForce 8800 GTX 768 MB SLI'd together 2 500 GB Samsung SpinPoint T Series SATA hard drives, RAID 0'd together Silverstone Black TJ07 (The version with the window) DVD burner (SATA) Blu-Ray burner (SATA) Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional Series Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Logitech G15 Keyboard Ultra X3 1000w PSU A nice little big heatsink No floppy $2800 in total; I was able to convince my dad to pay for about half. ;D Not a bad setup. ;D
damn, B2K if you'd asked I would have told you not to get that creative card, they have problems RAID 0 is a bad idea too.
I read up on the sound card online and found some drivers for Vista 64. Why is RAID 0 a bad idea though?
because if either disk packs up you lose all data on both of them. Additionally, experiments performed by a friend of mine showed that the performance gain is minimal or non-existent. Did you read about the crackling issues the X-Fi suffers from when there's high bandwidth usage on the PCI/PCI-E bus? Trust me, it makes the thing unusable and I only have one 8800GTX (had no problems with my 7800GTX). Apparently Creative cards are notorious for that problem, and they'd rather blame every other PC component manufacturer than fix it. Take my advice, send it back and get an Asus Xonar D2 (or it's PCI-E equivalent). Cheaper and doesn't suffer that problem.
If I send it back in now, my dad will be pissed. I'll ask for the Xonar D2 for Christmas. So I should just run the two hard drives without RAID?
