    All that means is that windows takes ages to boot up, rather than taking ages to load your games. As far as I'm concerned, I'd sooner wait for applications to open when I need them, not when I boot my PC up.

    In my bios, do I want raid to be set for mirrored or striped? Soo close to getting this together I can taste paradise.
