    Hi all,

    1 - Seings that it looks like x200 does not support RAID, wondering what the best way to run a dual HDD system is...

    I'm thinking... leave the OS disk (C :) as empty as possible, and store everthing else on D:

    Will this improve performance... thinking intuitively it should, but I'm sure some guru's gonna reply to this saying that they're both on the same controller / IRQ channel or something, and that it doesn't matter a rat's.

    2 - Just wondering if any of the Toshiba crap has to stay... like the Bluetooth or TouchPad stuff maybe...

    3 - I'm confused...

    Is PC5300 RAM a bit slow for the GM965's 800MHz FSB?

    Or is it the other way around? Does PC5300 run at 667x2MHz effective?

    Newbie question sorry :)

    Hello and Welcome here.

    And please refrain from making multiple threads on the same subject like this.

    3 - The difference in speed between DDR2-800 and DDR2-667 is very little. (And DDRII does not work on Santa Rosa laptops - except some Zepto models - anyways)

    I guess it is subjective... what defines a different subject... pardon the punn...

    One thread was re. memory, one about Toshiba bloatware, another about dual hdd management... all different subjects i thought...

    2- If you want your touchpad and your bluetooth to work, then obviously you do need it.

    Can't i just get Vista to detect them... Don't want the Toshy software sitting there all the time really.

    It's a question of whether this bloatware includes the drivers (necessary of course) or not...
