Does your motherboard support SataII hard drives?? I would either try to get a Sata or SataII drive if the board supports either of them.......Wd,Maxtor,Seagate, or Hitachi are all good drives to me. I know your probably like geez that really narrows it down!! LOL Parallel ATA have transfer rates of 100 mb/sec and 133 mb/sec, SATA drives have 150 mb/sec transfer rates, and SATA II drives have a whopping 300 mb/sec transfer rate. If you are willing to sacrifice storage space for raw speed then you can consider some of the 10000 rpm drives which have seek & read times of 4.5/sec, that's have the times of the 7200 rpm drives SATA or SATA II which are 8.5/sec.......Later man

Wow that top board has 8 Sata connectors...thats kinda hot. but i think thats overkill. your never going to need to fill those things up unless your trying to make a server computer for the whole city!

The board is pricy cuz of those Sata ports. so i think youd be payin for something you wont use.

that bored is pricey for the SLI technology thats the reason its a bit more then the other one he linked. and if you dont need SLI which i doubt you do, id recommend this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131530 I believe that to be a little nicer and 10 bucks cheaper plus i like the nvidia chipsets. heres a link to ti from that same site you were browsing. http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&...

look at the link i posted, the reason that is 35 bucks more is the SLI technology, it allows you to run 2 video cards at once so you can get 512mb
