I need something with support for:
XP2500+ Barton
2xHDD's on IDE RAID-0 Stripe, plus 2 additional IDE HDD's and 2 IDE CD-ROM devices
good speed/reliability (I wouldnt expect anything else from recommendations here)
it also has to be a currently available model, and have a reasonable price...
was looking at the Gigabyte GA-7NNXP, but apparently its EOL or in very short supply, as I could only find one supplier and it would retail for almost $300CDN...
then I looked at the Asus A7VN8X-E Deluxe... better pricetag ($175CDN locally), but I dont think it comes with S-ATA -> IDE adaptors, which would be necessary, and they cost about $40/ea...
tried to check out MSI's offerings, their MSI K7N2-Delta-ILSR offers 4x IDE devices + S-ATA RAID, but no IDE-RAID... again with the $40 adaptors...
does anyone know of something that meets my criteria (basically IDE RAID on an nForce2 motherboard, or even a KT600)? Have to order this within the next few hours, input would be appreciated.. thanks
and if anything's unclear, I'm sorry, I'm at work, sick, and busy as hell... just ask and I'll try to clarify...
thanks
