    Has that board got sata III ? If not...you need a card to make the most of those SSD's. Highpoint one, I think is the basic one.

    How can I put this; My partners Dad is a Governor of a prison (Can't state where for security reasons) My Dad is a Executive of a company. I'm on a good paid job. My partner is a Vet. Both our parents own their houses, so when they pass on, we will have a very good inheritance. (Not wishing this of course!).
    Me and my partner own fairly new cars. Me a Jaguar x-type, my partner a Vauxhall vectra. The only debt we have is our Mortgage. Our house is just over 2yrs old, so it doesn't need renovation.
    My partner being a Vet does allot of work for charity.

    Sorry to answer all your questions.

    Cheers,

    Simon.

    If I had a gold plated ipad, I'd never use it. Just keep it in the box and look at it on special occasions.

    And a nice Dell 15" 1024x768 monitor. As with that high of a resolution, games FPS will be struggling to get into double figures.:hehe:

    I checked out the pics in your sig Simon. Very impressive.

    The question I have for you is how much did that delightful pink tea set and serving trolley set you back and where can I get one? :)

    I have a huge favour to ask you, which is a bit of a pain and could take 30-60 minutes to do:

    Could you compare boot times for Windows for one drive compared to two in RAID0?

    I was contemplating doing this a while ago but then bought a single 120GB drive instead (and now also have a 90GB SSD scratch drive :hip: ).
