as you'll need it after reading your last post to b...Eventually reverting back to Win98 on the Hardware will decrease it's performance enormously IMO as I'm tinkering with the Mobo right now. It has 64bit drivers already but get all the new ones and BIOS from the site before starting, you'll have over 512MB of RAM (bad for 98), prolly 1 performance hit from SATA 1n2going by way of 98, Doubt if any 98 Drivers will take (and if the are avaiable) advantage of PCI-e or the ULi chipset... and all USB Hi-Speed devices will require thier own drivers, not to mention a DC running by way of 98?...man there's a long list of why I wouldn't even consider 98 as the main OS in this set-up with support for it soon to vanish ..then there's the fact if you do upgrade the CPU (M2)and Memory (DDR2) that 98 won't handle it!


Oh and I've never known of 1 "HD coming in" that is a raid version???

Plus the 3 SATA ports (2-1's and 1-2) are not hot plug/swappable..
I threw in a Manchester Core and it sure is pumpng well but you will definitely need a sound card and Check the PSU I found for it @TL

Finally you'll have to make RAID diskettes to install the any of the Winblows OS before hand but the SATA 1 is 0+1+JBOD capable ...
