Civlime (and other hardware experts), We've had some discussion about mobos and chipsets over the last couple of months. I'm looking at a new box and am considering these two configurations from Cyclox Computers (www.cyclox.com) Both are AMD Socket A boards with 266 mhz FSB, ATX form factor. 1. Asus w/AliM1647 Northbridge/Ali M1535D Southbridge chipset. You had spoken positively about this combo in the past. 2. Iwill w/RAID (apparently the KA266-R mobo). This mobo uses the Ali MagiK 1 Chipset (Ali M11647 and M1535D - the same as the Asus board) and the AMI 80649 RAID Chip. If we assume that Iwill can make a good board (anybody using their stuff?) that since it uses the same chipset as the Asus mobo, it will past muster. What about the RAID controller and what are your general thoughts about going to a RAID configuration? Thanks. Terry Smith Woods Hole, MA
