Why would you use a pair of SSD's instead of a single SSD? TRIM command does not work with SSD's in RAID-0, so your performance will degrade over time and you won't be able to do anything about it. Why not just use a single 160GB SSD instead?
Shouldnt this be updated soon?
I'll look into updating it once Thuban and Fermi are out.
Perkam
when u update the amd should be on the top as amd is before intel alphabetically
This needs a update
Agreed!
Would it be possible to make a Small Form Factor build? I trust your knowledge over neweggs :P
what kind of SFF are u interested in, that can go from an matx with a mini p-180 to a tinny little micro itxQuote:

CPU: core i5/i7 or possibly AMD
MB: Was thinking lanparty but since they are now discontinued i need something with more support, thinking gigabyte, or asus
Memory: depends on CPU,but probably 4 or 6 G
Single videocard (ati 5 series)
1 HD
OS: 7, but may use my college email to get one for $20 if that deals still around.
Not sure what else, im not expert by any means but ill look for some reviews on a case and MB

Sounds great, thanks perkam :D
is XS dead or there's just been no mods for updates or spam control?
Update please :)
This is my go to link for anyone building a computer
general thought for this but maybe a category for benching such as a good base motherboard/hard drive/ram setup type thing or something along those lines
I'd love to see an XS Official Rig Building Guide 2011. Update please!!
think its due for a 2011 update!
In for 2011 update after some new CPU/MB's are released!
Yes Please!Quote:
