Several questions so I can make the decision on the MB.

The raid boards mentioned something like supports 1 ata ide and 2 sata for raid. I assume that means you could use one ata ide and 1 sata for raid 1, but not 2 ata ide?

Since this will be my first overclocking, I don't know if the stock HSF will be ok (or quiet). Would the $15.00 for the GlacialTech Igloo 2500 be a waste of money?

I think it will be a decision between the MSI and Soltek boards with video onboard. So I can afford any of them in my spending limit. Which one overclocks the easiest for a newbie?

Thank you for all of your inputs.
