Coz it will also entail CPU, RAM, new P/S and probably a new case? Unless he gets one of those VIA micro-ITX boards, but the main point of thoose is small case, low power, low noise.... Means all new kjt, However, were I to consider RAID for one of my Pentium IIs (I have about a dozen here), I'd probably boot off CD or hda, and software-raid disks on hdb & d. No SATA at all. Whatever speed benefits there might be wrt speed in SATA, it's unlikely you will get them in a Pentium II. From my experience, Standard ATA drives hould deliver 25 Mbytes/sec on a Pentium II. -- Cheers John
