Hello everyone, I am having my dream(almost) computer built for me this week . I went over all the components with the guy that is building it for me and he forsees noproblems. I trust him but after reading through the different posts I am becoming increasingly concerned about a few things. First, the components I am getting are:
Soyo Dragon ULtra Platinum
512 mb DDR pc2700 memory
AMD XP2200+
(2) Western Digital 120gb 8 mb cache hard drives
these will be using the RAID 0 setup on the board.
A Linksys ethernet card(i know the board has it but I have heard that a card will take some load off the processor...and it was only like 25 bucks or so.
A Gainward Ti4200 dual display video card.
dvd drive, 48X cd-r, thermaltake xaser case blah blah blah
Windows 98 SE
Now, my concerns are :
1. Will 98 handle the fast processor?
2. Any problems with that large of a hard drive?
3. Will the RAID array create any problems?
I know you are all going to say I should have gone with XP but this guy swears that 98SE will work and I just like it to much to give it up yet.
Any input on this matter would be appreciated. Anyone that sees something that I missed please feel free to elaborate.
Thanks a lot.
