Have parts left over, etc. to build a pc. Was going to build a basic XP Pro box for surfing and checking email in a workroom which also is where I keep a nas, router, swtich, modem, VoIP, etc. Now, am considering using WHS as the OS instead of XP so I can get a real server rather than a paltry...

Why am I getting iaStor Error (event code 9)?

Thanks, I poked around and it appears the first one *might* apply, the other one was for a different chipset or raid array enabler. The one regarding power may or may not apply as only of the two bsod's I had were at start of windows. But more importantly, my read on the explanation is that...

comp wont boot windows.

are you running raid on the wd 2x80? did you put windows on the non raid wd 160 drive? I'm just curious because I found out the hard way that with the intel 975x chipset (and maybe 955x chipset) that if you initialise the chipset for raid in bios, even if not for the boot/system drive, you...

performance of 965 vs 975x

I think Markymoo is about right on this, at the present time, but with some disagreement. What I mean is that the questioning of his/her argument was unfair as s/he said it objectively enough to get the idea without hyperbole. I've myself noticed that the 965 chipset boards seem to be going...
