On your hard drives:
 
Hard Drive 1: 300GB Western Digital Raptor Raid 0 Setup (10K RPM) (Extreme Speed)
Hard Drive 2: 750GB (Western Digital / Seagate) (7200 RPM) (SATA) (Extreme Speed)
 
You have RAID set up on first and a different size on the second.  RAID needs identical drives for RAID operation.
 
If your doing gaming and want the latest, XP doesn't have Directx 10.  Only Vista does for now.  But, I have XP on the old system and getting Vista with the new one.  Personal preference.
 
Other than that, Great System! Clap

you're right cyberman but he chose the option that includes the Raid 0 setup without taking up both options in the configurator.  They did this to allow a separate drive for storage/etc. 
 
Hard Drive 1: 300GB Western Digital Raptor Raid 0 Setup (10K RPM) (Extreme Speed) = 2 HDs

By the way, I thought my system was going to be a beast being that it was $5,000 but this thing has all the bells and whistles.. enjoy Smile

Cyberman, I am aware of the DX10 stuff, I have a retail copy of Vista Ultimate I am going to put on it as soon as I get it and have it dual boot.
 
I will be doing most of my gaming in XP until stuff like Crysis comes out.
 
Thanks though.

Way to make all of us with a single card and little pocketbooks envious.  Seriously, that is one mean machine.  Post what you get on 3dMark with that monster so we can see how fast it really is!!!

well the rig is still in stage 1 (after bank auth issues of course... they must deal with that a lot!)
