Umm... you can.. but the performance won't be as great as with 2 identical drives and you can only RAID 40GB on each drive so half the space on the 80GB will be wasted.

if you check that the two wd's have the same spechs then you can raid it no probs
 make sure there both either ide, or sata, you cant mix platforms

I do not know if your board will support IDE RAID. If it does the specific procedure for your board will be outlined in your mobo manual. It is often best to follow your mobos instructions for this becasue some boards have special menus to enter that will be different from other boards ect.

You continue to use your harddrives in a non-raid format with your current motherboard. Either your bios/motherboard supports it or it does not, there is not in between unfortunately.
