while you lose all your data if a raid0 array fails, surely this is the same if your primary single drive fails? I guess the greater risk is that you are using 2 drives, so the probability of failure increases (although, if you use good drives, reliability shouldn't be too much of an issue)

The only time thatmismatched modules can cause problems is if you're overclocking. This is because you would be running the RAM at a speed greater then it is rated for and one stick might overclock further than the other, causing problems. As long as you are running it at stock speeds (ie ator...

Thanks guys, that clears things up quite a bit. Does anyone know of any good UK suppliers (preferably online) for the audiophile?? Thanks Chez

Thanks for your reply ambi. I will only be using it in stereo (connected directly to a stereo power amp) I assume mp3 and other audio formats will sound far better through this card than through an Audigy2, Terratec DMX or my onboard audio?? I don't need support for eax, as long as I get good...

I'm looking to buy a new soundcard for my PC, but I need digital inputs and decent sound quality. The card will be used as part of my DJ setup, for recording and mixing purposes. I only need 2 channel output (if I want to watch a DVD, I'd rather sit in my lounge!) and have been looking at the...

I am currently putting together my new PC. I DJ and would like to be able to use my computer to for mixing, editing and sampling, connected to my decks and mixer. What is the minimum requirement for this? What is the sound like from these cards compared to home audio equipment (is it more like...
