*slaps self* i missed the SCSI card was already there.
18G for swap does seem a bit extreme but for viedo capture it makes sense, and you do want somthing fast for that. I couldn't work out whether you menat swap as in temorary storage jsut for capturing video or as in SWAP for a RAID setup, like a partity drive or somthing(yea my RAID is as weak as it sounds)) As for coasters, i havne't seen any on an Athon system (i've tried playing an intensive 3D game, copying from drive to drive AND burning without the buffer falling below 70%) as long as the source and destination devices are on seperate busses there should not be a problem. I just don't like that Promise 100 controller.
Yea mbpark - USB does rock, the only reason i use a PS/2 mouse is for gaming i can overclock the refresh rate from 20 to 200 - much smoother which counts when your trying to snipe.
