    ok... let me rephrase my question: do they have to be from the same manufacturer?

    "This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good."

    Like I've stated before,  yes and no.

    If you get two different types of RAM from two different companies,  the faster one will run at the speeds of the slower one.  You can have DuelDDR support,  but again... I would highly suggest getting two of the same sticks of RAM.

    I'm getting the same RAM,  but two sticks of it for my duelDDR motherboard... Also the same CPU,  but a different motherboard that's as good as the ASUS and Abit's.

    The HDD I got is the Maxtor DiamondMax 9 SATA (150,  and ATA 133 support) for $70...  that's a little better then the WDs.  Setting up a RAID 0 is easy.  You get two of the same HDDs,  go into the BIOS and click "RAID 0" and poof,  it's now works as two drives = one...

    They are quick!

    DualDDR...

    RAID 0 is when two HDDs are being used as one...  which is super fast for games, video editing,  and anything that really uses the HDD.

    RAID 1 is when you have two of the same HDDs,  but the second one is always mirroring the first... slower,  but it's highly used for servers and for data that can't be lost.

    It's as simple as turning on a light. :)

    My motherboard support RAID 0 and 1 and RAID SATA.  image

    Mmmm... SATA HDDs... that's going to be sick!!!  So fast!  Move over SCSI!

    Murt,  it will be fast, yes.  When you have the DualDDR support,  you won't really notice a HUGE difference...  if any (to the eye).
