Default New Hard Drive
Atm, I have a 160GB Sata hdd, and I want to get something like a 500GB.
Can i just install them side by side, or do i get another 160gb to raid it?

If i can install them side by side, then can I install vista/7 as a whole partition (i.e. 660GB partition)?

Believe it or not, you can actually do this however you want.

Well, I think I'm done overclocking. My system can't stay stable for more than 3 days no matter what I do. So screw it.

You don't need to RAID together hard drives in order to use both...
