    Would I be bottlenecking my NP9262 with a C2D E8500 and SLI 9800 GTs much by using 2 160 gb 5400 rpm SATA HDDs in Raid 0?

    Thanks!

    seems fine, although just getting a single 320GB 5400rpm would be more ideal since they perform a well as 7200 rpm drives.

    and have you considered a quad-core instead?
    .... sine most games/apps in development now are multi-threaded, which would give you more performance with more cores.

    Thanks for the quick replies! I had already ordered it, I just wanted to know if I had made a huge mistake. Thanks again!

    Thats fine really.

    Just so you'll know, you can always amend or make changes on your order before it gets shipped. ;)

    A RAID0 is going to outperform a single 320 GB 5,400 rpm drive hands down. It will not bottleneck the system.
