CAD PC Setup

That machine sounds like a dream. Compared to my old workstation anyway. The only thing I would change would be the harddrives to SCSI

MOBO INFO:
"Onboard Devices
* Dual EIDE ports support Ultra DMA 100MB/s of Burst data transfer rate, supports UDMA Mode 5, PIO Mode 4 and ATA/100 "

So that'd mean I have to get an ATA100 RAID controller with ATA100 HDs right? Absolutely no 133?

Well, these are RAID ports. You can get a ATA/133 controller put it, and then get ATA/100 drives. THey would work just fine. Benchmarks have shown there are actually very few speed improvements made in going ATA/133. So don't be too concerned about "you have to do ata/133"....
