I've narrowed my choice between a mobo with
2 SATA RAID 0/1 & two firewire ports (the NF7-S)
and one with
No RAID or firewire ports (the NF7)
The 'more features' mobo is 20 bucks more. I do plan on buying a new HD afterwards because my current HD seems to be failing and I don't think I'll be using the firewire ports. My question is is getting a mobo with SATA RAID really necessary for a person only planning on playing games and maybe some minor gfx work with 3D Studio Max? I'm going to make my purchase next week at the latest(want to get it before the holidays) and need as much feedback as soon as possible. Thanks alot!
