Right before I was told that any two identical drives could be put in a RAID array. But do RAID and SATA go together?
So from what I understand SATA is just a faster "version" of IDE, and RAID is two IDE drives coupled?
Basically if I buy two SATA drives can I put them in a RAID array, and keep a different drive on the normal IDE to boot up windows?

OP
RAID will definately come as a upgrade choice after the processor - and maybe some good RAM, because PC2700 just won't cut it with a P4 :)
Old_Fart, do you have a seperate partition for your paging file? Seperate from your Windows partition.
Also, when installing Windows XP..... after hitting F6 and getting my drivers set up and everything, will the setup see Two 120gig drives or one 240gig drive?

there is only 1 hard disk ...
all transfer will go through the RAD controller ... card or onboard ... and the controller reports you one HDD you can do anything with this HDD like you want just as if it is a normal drive
putting pagefile on another drive does not gain any performance since windows wait the data to be written it is only an advantage if the paging file disk is faster then the windows one ... but that would be really stupid put windows with pagin on fastetst one
