Choice = Raid 0
If you are trying to build a fast gaming PC than go with raid 0, This is two hard drives working in tandum with no redundency. So if one drive fails the whole system goes down. You don't need raid 1 unless backup is more important than speed. Raid 1 There are two drives, one is a backup or mirror drive. Raid 1 if one hard drive dies the back up or mirror drive can take over operations until the faulty dirve is replaced. Raid 5 is a compromise between 0 and1. For a home PC go with raid 0. Intall the drivers, included w/motherboard for whichever controller you wish when installing winxp. At the very start of installing win watch the screen for installing 3rd party raid controllers. Choice = Raid 0
