Hardware RAID vs Software Disk Management...

As far as I know, you can only set up whole drives in RAID, not partitions. If you set up a 200GB and an 80GB drive in RAID 1, you would end up with 1 usable 80GB drive.

I have the same board and CPU. I'm running at 250 with value ram and a mem divider. I'll let you know my settings when I get home in a few hours.

Setting up a SATA drive for the first time.

What motherboard? On my NForce3 and NForce4 motherboards I noticed that if I used the NForce SATA controller ports, I didn't need anything. However, if I used the 'add on' Silicon Integrated controller ports, I needed the drivers on a floppy at the beginning of Windows Setup.

Static shock damage?

I just replaced a motherboard for a friend who zapped the power switch with a sizeable shock. The motherboard was just plain dead, but all the other components survived. :)

Dead Motherboard

I just swapped out an EPOX mb for the exact same model and Windows wasn't any the wiser. I would just make sure you have the drives attached to the exact same ports as before. If the BIOS revisions are different, that might throw something into the works but I doubt it.

wireless routers

Hmmm.. Did some checking, and it looks like the couple ISPs are only offering 15 Mb/s up and down at the moment. The system can do 100 Mb/s up and down or 1000 Mb/s up and down for business, but looks like they're starting at 15 Mb/s and 30 Mb/s. Still, that is up AND down. XMission...

Can't get a post with 1300 MHz Duron and Gigabyte GA-7IXE4

Yes, it should be silkscreened directly onto the board. I've seen them placed next to the model number or next to the lowest PCI slot before, but i suppose it could be anywhere. Edit: However, since PCB Revision 1.0 supports it... I would say all revisions do. I don't think Gigabyte uses...

DVD-RW won't recognize DVD-R.

NaiMan, Since your drive(s) can apparently recognize a blank disc, i think your problem is different. I don't have any advice at the moment though.

DVD-RW won't recognize DVD-R.

I have an NEC 1300a that does the same thing. It won't recognize writable media whether it's blank or already written on any longer. It will only recognize pressed DVDs. I'm betting the drive is bad.

Performance issues in a cheap HD?

You shouldn't notice any difference from a current generation IDE versus SATA hard drive with the same specs. Hard drives can't max out ATA 100 at this point. One exception might be an NCQ enabled SATA drive, but from what I've read there isn't any tangible performance increase for regular...

IDE/SATA Mappings: DVDR/CDR HDs

Yes, you should be able to run all 4 IDE devices along with 2 SATA devices. As for two hard drives on the same IDE channel, there will be a bottleneck when you transfer a lot of data from one hard drive to another.

I'm getting 39 C idle, 46 C load via MSI's PC Alert. Also, forgot to mention my HSF is a Zalman 7700-Cu. I will run Dual Prime 95 tests starting tonight after a WoW session. Did I start too high at 2.5Ghz or should I try for more before I run Prime 95 for a full 24 hours?
