So if its software raid (when built onto the motherboard), how can the raid array be functional without an operating system on it? I was under the impression that if you went into a piece of hardware's bios and set up the array, that software was not involved? jonathan -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Markku Kolkka Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 3:22 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: motherboard decision help Christopher Bottaro kirjoitti viestissään (lähetysaika maanantai, 29. maaliskuuta 2004 23:54): > excuse my naivety, but is dual channel memory and hardware > raid OS transparent? Dual channel RAM is completely transparent, so is true hardware RAID but any "RAID" controller integrated on a motherboard is software RAID. > 1) how do i know if dual channel memory is working? See the POST startup messages. > 3) how do you know if you got the RAID setup properly?
