Dual Athlons will be possible when the appropriate motherboard chipset

In my case the motherboard I picked (Abit SP7) has a RAID controller built
in as well as a standard IDE controller, but you can do the same thing
with a Promise plug-in.

I like RAID10 , i.e. mirroring and striping, because you can still use
cheap IDE RAID controllers but get similar reliability to a RAID5 array at
the cost of one more cheap drive.
