I haven't ruled out RAID 1, but it's not the most economical way to go for backup/redundancy. Hi Matt,

Awesome bargain of a processor. RAM's pricey nowadays, but storage is cheap. You could go with 2 more of those drives, giving you a RAID 5 for speed and redundancy. Or 3 more of them, and RAID 10 the hell out of it! Depends what the mobo supports, though, since good RAID cards aren't cheap. Grats on the new system. Fun stuff. Gotta love those Core Duos.

What I WANTED was 2 GB of RAM that would be compatible with an E6400 Core2Duo while overclocked. RAM like that is currently REALLY expensive. So, I settled for 1GB of crappier RAM until prices fall again. When that happens, I'll buy 2GB of awesome RAM and move the crappier sticks to my old PC. :-) Hi Hans,

Seriously. There's no excuse for not having 2GB. Needs more RAM. Seriously. There’s no excuse for not having 2GB.
