So I decided the internals of my computer needed a boost as well as the cosmetics (more on that in another thread later), so I am spending some hard earned cash. I am upgrading from whats in the sig to the following...

PentD920, Asus P5N32-SLI Deluxe, xfx 7800gt and a 2nd Raptor. (about $800). Should be a kick ass system. I can't wait to see FEAR now!

If you already have one Raptor, what will you be using the second one for? If it is just going to be for files, music etc then you would probably be better getting a WD250 Caviar SATAII instead. More storage, less $$$.

The only benefit I could see associated with a Raptor is as an OS drive and am considering getting one for that purpose, but from what I've read I still can't decide if its worth it :confused:

The only real purpose for having a second Raptor that I can see would be you could knock out RAID 0 or RAID 1, in which case it could be a good move....

Sorry should have made that clear, YEP I'm going to RAID 0! Can't wait!
