Ot should do RAID since its a Nforce 410 chipset, but im still not sure.

Yeah and it runs fine in the 75-120 FPS with the 8800 GT. I think that I jsut have the new computer itch but the only hting that I play now is TF2. Maybe I will upgrade when DIII comes out if needed.

Thanks for the ideas.

For $700 I think that I can upgrade nicely:

I'm running two WD 160G Sata1.5G drives in a Raid 0 and I get a 5.9 on the stupid Vista Primary Hard Disk performance index.

This program shows benchmarks and my Raid array gets the following numbers:

Sequential Writing 83.74MB/s
Sequential Read 70.5MB/s
Buffered Writing 107.25MB/s
Buffered Reading 196.38MB/s
Random Reading 49MB/s

This is compared to my single 500G Sata1.5G drive at

Sequential Writing 57.22MB/s
Sequential Read 68.18MB/s
Buffered Writing 131.69MB/s
Buffered Reading 148.83MB/s
Random Reading 48MB/s

and compared to the Raptors 150G Sata1.5G (raid 10) in our database server here at work

Sequential Writing 172.21MB/s
Sequential Read 93.47MB/s
Buffered Writing 173.59MB/s
Buffered Reading 175.71MB/s
Random Reading 38MB/s

The Raptors are the fastest (they would probably be quicker if I stopped the actual database from running (they were taken at 35% CPU load where my desktop was at 2%) but the Raid 0 is still quicker, and as long as you backup your data it would def increase performance at a cost much less /GB than the raptors.
