Hey,
I am going to be purchasing a new motherboard for my system relatively soon. This is mainly because the stock one is crap and i am trying to optimize my performance and setting up RAID 0 [hopefully]. I am wondering if you have any suggestions for a good motherboard... My PC Specs are:
AMD Athlon 2600+
512mb RAM PC2700[2x256]
120gb hard drive [NTFS file system...]
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy LS
i know that best buy has pretty good hard drives for ok prices [want to use my best buy gift card]. i have been looking on newegg.com for motherboards because of prices.
so far i have come up with two motherboards that in my eye look ok [i am open to suggestions as long as the price is reasonable...]
1. ABIT NF7-S ( http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=0&submit=Go&description=N82E16813127166 )
2. ASUS A7V600 ( http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=0&submit=Go&description=N82E16813131470 )
I am just wondering if either of these mobos is good for raid 0 and if my current hd is even able to be setup in a raid 0 config.
thank you
