2ea Raptor 74GB raid 0
1ea Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 160GB 7200 RPM SATAII

Sorry should of told you. So set OS with your fastest set-up?
I think I have plenty of room. BF2 and C of D only games on Raptor.
Holding Deskstar for basic word (school stuff and mp3's)
Would like to upgrade Deskstar in future to 16mb when cost comes down.
Thanks for your knowledge and time...
