That is what I thought I would have to do... Exactly that... Start the computer, set the SYS BIOS to allow RAID, go into the RAID BIOS and make the RAID, go back in the SYS BIOS and choose it as the first boot drive... then start as you would normally with a single drive...

Once this eighth grader beat me up real bad, so I would actually say it is easier!

I do like the idea of installing the drivers in whatever order ASUS recommends though! And since I might have to start a new C: from scratch I will defenitely that that into account. Unless anyone here knows if you can "repair" XP Media Center over to plain XP?

I know it can do RAID 0.
I meant if it was any good on this board since the posts above mine are complaining about slow RAID.

They unlucky, or is there really something wrong?

I don't know but I was getting very bad average read speed with the single on-board RAID on my DS3 also...

What was the readings?

I saw a XP media center converter to XP somewhere. But I do not think it was leagal.

I just took a look at the p6n, its a very attractive board, with the multicoloured slots all pretty. Im still saying p5n ftw because its asus though, this one looks stealthy and its an awesome board. I'm so glad i sided with this over the DS3. It goes perfect with the black case and black PSU and everything...AH I LOVE IT. I just bought a soundcard, soundblaster audigy se, nothing special but i got it for free+shipping. Ordered my LGA775 bracket, Cold Cathodes (2x12" blue) and a sick fan seen here -->



Should spice up my case a little bit with the white LED

Is there anyone is this thread who have got a bad mb?

I just cant get mine to boot. I just get black screen (no signal) and five short beeps. And there is nothing i can do about it.
Im thinking of RMA'ing it, since everything ive tried has failed.

Foulty RAM should give you a long beep. If it beeps, it means it works.
First try to change your VGA, use an oldschool PCI. If still have a problem, take your ram out and try in differsent slots - one by one.
I have heard about just 1 non working MB but that one had just an empty Bios battary.

[The Pook]

RAM too high, not working, etc = Long beep that goes for about a minute, then either your computer will shut off (old BIOS') or keep beeping (new ones.)
5 short beeps = Can't remember if it was a NB/SB or a CPU problem...One of them.

[Skjold]

Well ive tested different ram, psu's and gfx. And still get the 5 beeps and the nothing happens. Fans spin and everything lights up, and thats that.

I had one set doing 110MB/s and an other doind 85MB/s when these should give me more like 120/130... individually they give 70-85MB/s
