Hard Drive
This article I located while just digging around, it has some good information although I would have liked to had some screenshots of the hardware testing that I did with all sorts of disk benchmarking tools. Too bad I didn’t think to keep those around for over a year. Oh well…. enjoy.
After a long time of running RAID0 I decided that there comes a time in every persons life that protecting from data loss is very important. Years of pictures, videos, music, documents, and other files can be lost with a catastrophic incident, with that in mind I set out on the road to see what I could do. Since Raid0 offers the best performance per dollar it was an easy solution at build time, it offers all the space from the drives and allows for greater transfer speeds writing and reading up to the amount of drives that are installed in the system.

nVidia is poor support
Well let me just say that nVidia is pissing me off again, first they drop support for nforce1 and nforce2 chip sets just before Vista launches, then they sell people graphics cards for Vista that don’t even have non-beta drivers, then they go ahead and make the support of the “legacy” and take out support for even some more of their hardware. Then when they take out the support for the hardware then they stop making new drivers for different xorg servers and make you wait an ungodly time to get a new “legacy” driver.
ATI is just as good
With this new revelation from nVidia it makes the ATI FGLRX driver look like a godsend since at least a small part of it is open source. It’s starting to get to where nVidia is losing the battle against ATI on the Linux front, but then again Intel has all their graphics drivers open source and they are not competeing with the big two. Well intel doesn’t really care about the graphics market since most of thier stuff is built onto motherboards and isn’t expected to perform the same as a non-integrated solution.
