    First build, need feedback

    Well Antimatter, why not run a 1.2terabyte system. Im only using about 60GB out of the setup but the reason i run this is that my system performs alot better.

    Sataii drive keeps bumped down to sata1 speed

    Did you remember to pull out the little jumper on the HD that limits it to 1.5gb/s. Pull that out and you got yourself a full 3gb/s sata2 connection.
