So what your saying is that this would be the fastest way to go: Dual WD Raptors in a Raid 0 array: Capacity: 74GB Average Seek Time: 4.5 ms Buffer: 8MB Rotational Speed: 10000 RPM Interface: Serial ATA Features: High Performance SATA Interface Manufacturer Warranty: 1 year Remark: OEM Drive Only (limit 2 per customer) Model# WD740GD Item# N82E16822144160 Those things benchmark at around 110Mb/sec transfer speeds, DAMN NICE Would this mobo work with this Supported CPU: Single Socket 940 AMD Athlon64 FX Processors Chipset: VIA K8T800 + VIA VT8237 FSB: Scalable HyperTransport RAM: 3x DIMM for Registered ECC DDR400/333/266 Max 8GB IDE : 3x UltraDMA 133 up to 6 Devices Slots: 1x AGP 8X, 5x PCI , 1x WiFi Ports: 2xPS2, 1xLPT, SPDIF Out, 1xCOM, 8xUSB2.0(Rear 4), 1xLAN, 2xIEEE1394(Rear 1), Audio Ports Onboard Audio: ADI AD1985, 6-channel CODEC Onboard LAN: 3COM 3C940 Gigabit Ethernet Onboard SATA/RAID: 2x SATA, RAID0/1; 2x SATA, RAID 0/1/0+1(Total 4 Serial ATA)

I looked and I couldn't find mobo with SCSI built in. As for moving huge files and all that It's hard to say what I'll be doing wit it in the future, so I will probably go with wd raptor 10,000 RAID. Do you know of a good mag to learn from, I spend half the night trying to learn what all these specs mean and how things work everytime something new gets posted. And I am falling wayyyy behind All the help is greatly appreciated.

Kind of figured I would see some more thanks for Ca3le Guy on this thread what with 68 registered users and countless guests.Whatsup everybody Don't you realize this is the best site on the web Let's see some more thanks for Ca3le Guy's hard work

Swimmer No I don't have zone alarm, I also can't get to dslreports, I just get page can't be displayed for like last 3 days. Seems I got some issues, see thread "big problem" and you will see what I mean

Swimmer Screaming fast cool factor is 11outa 10 :twisted:Could I raid the hd i posted or do you know something that would be faster

Ca3le Guy Sounds like a good idea to me, thanks for the info

Mortiorchis Did you say dual Hds,how does that work, sounds wicked

Microwave I use the ping test from my IP to calculate RWIN right, not the one from testmy.net

Swimmer How do I turn off the zone alarm

Can you amplify bandwidth Seems like we can amplify just about everything else.

Yeah I can't wait, its going to be sweet

Thanks for the help Mortiorchis. This is alot of info for me to think about, im not really worried about cost efficiency since i am going to take awhile to build it, so if there is something that will work better im all for it. I just want the fastest comp I can build as long as it doesnt cost 17,000$lol

She's a good girl she just needs a couple upgrades or..... something

Sweet you waxed it Doritos suck

Thanks Microwave it did work average ping to testmy.net 110ms.

Anybody else having problems connecting to speedguide last day or 2.I keep getting screen that says error retrieving options

I have been trying to ping my IP but it won't work same with tracert to testmy.net. I go start>run>command>tracert testmy.net but I get bad file or command.Same with pinging my IP I have used the same line of commands before and it worked, now I get bad command or file name Anybody got an idea what's going on

Thanks for the help Swimmer. The sound card is made by Creative Labs.ddr500 oops I think I like your mobo better. Power supply I was looking at wasEnermax EG651P-VE FM 550w power supply 20/24 pin dual AMD/xeon P4 ready. Got a idea for a kick ass NIC
