I plan on using either XP Professional or Vista Ultimate (undecided), and I am unsure of what file system to use. I am going to have a RAID 0 setup, but which file system would better suit me? NTFS or FAT?
Yeah pretty much ntfs hands down, I just did a fresh XP install last week and didn't even notice a place where you could format as FAT (unless you did previous to the install).
I didn't even know that Vista would allow you to install using FAT? With XP I believe there is the option when you first install, not that you could on these larger drives now a days.
I am sure the reasons are for older, read archaic, programs or something that needs that type of file structure. If that is the case then it makes no sense to build a quad core proc with a program that can barely max out a P3 cpu.
