I just placed my order this morning. Now, after some reading, I think I might have made some poor choices. Here is what I ordered.
ASUS P5K3 DELUXE - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131181
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115017
SeaSonic M12 SS-600HM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817151030
2 x SUPER TALENT 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820609237
4 x Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB 10,000 RPM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822136012
2 x SAMSUNG SpinPoint T Series HD501LJ 500GB 7200 RPM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822152052
Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835109140
1. What I plan to do is run the 4 Raptors in raid 0+1 and run the other two Samsung drives as storage drives with different names/letters. Will this be possible with this m/b? I've heard this board is having problems with sata drives and raid. Is this true, and if so, are the experts at ASUS working on this to sort this out?
2. Will the Ram I ordered work with this board? I ordered the highest speed rated ram I could get for future upgrade-ability. Now I'm a worried that I should have just got something rated for the board. Did I mess this up?
Forgive me for the noobie questions. Its been a while since I built my last computer and I really haven't been stayin up to date on everything. My 3.2 478 northwood gave up yesterday.
