heya..
here's my question..
i currently have exhausted all my IDE slots on my Mobo..
1 hd, 1 zip, 1 dvd and 1 cd-rw
i'm thinking of getting another 1hd.. but problem is running out of IDE slots..
is there anyway i can get more IDE slots?
1) my friend suggested on using raid, since my mobo is equipped with raid capabilities.. but i don't know much about raid.. anyone have any good sites or any can tell me what exactly does raid do?
2) i don't really wanna use a promise card since i heard it kinda slows down the booting speed of the computer
here's my currently comp specs
Iwill 266-R
Athlon Tbird 1ghz 266fbs
Maxtor 30gb 7200rpm HDD
512mb DDR pc2100
thanks in advance
