Your board will support up to 2 SATA devices.
Also, if you want 512MB RAM, get two sticks of 256mb, to take advantage of Dual-Channel DDR. Geil makes decent RAM. It looks like it will be a good setup. |

Go to the ASUS website and download the manual for that motherboard and start reading it already. It'll have all the information you need regard SATA setup and RAID.

See my signature for info. Yes you can use PC3500 Ram. I have Corsair 3500 in my machine and it works just great. As Cricket said, read the manual for the ASUS board. All of the info that you are asking is in that manual. Also ASUS does not recommend GEIL Memory.(See page 2-12 in the ASUS manual).

RAID 0 uses a technique called data striping. Multiple hard drives are combined to make one large volume. RAID 0 can read and write faster than a non-RAID configuration, since it splits the data and accesses both drives in parallel. RAID 0 does not provide any data redundancy. RAID 0 requires at least two hard drives.
RAID 1 mirrors or duplicates the content of one drive onto another equally sized drive. Mirroring provides optimal data integrity and immediate access to your data if one drive fails. RAID 1 allows you to use only half of the available capacity of your NAS device. RAID 1 requires at least two hard drives and must consist of an even number of drives. RAID 5 provides the best balance of data redundancy and capacity. RAID 5 is the default RAID configuration for the Iomega® NAS. Like RAID 0, RAID 5 stripes all of the available drives into one large volume; however, the space equivalent to one of the hard drives will be used to store parity data. If one hard drive fails, your NAS will rebuild your data using the parity data. RAID 5 requires at least 3 hard drives. You may also use a RAID 5 configuration with hot spare, which reserves an additional hard drive that is swapped in immediately if a drive failure occurs. The total RAID capacity is the sum of all the hard drives minus the space of two drives. RAID 5 with hot spare requires at least 4 hard drives. RAID 0+1 uses both RAID 0 and RAID 1 and requires four drives. |

You don't have to use the RAID feature if you don't want to. Just disable the RAID controller in BIOS.

Corsair has good memory and it is recommended by ASUS for the P4C800-E MOBO.

No. I got mine from ZipZoomFly. Newegg is just as good. I have found that ZIPZoomFly is usually a few dollars cheaper and the freight is faster.

Looks good, Just a side thing. Is pc3500 500mhz? wouldnt it be 433?
2100/8=266 (about) 2700/8=333 (about) 3200/8=400 3500/8=433 (About) SO would it be 500 or 433? Last edited by njskatchmo; 10-28-2003 at 04:09 PM. |
