Intel MatrixStorage vs. Vista 64? Dick Watson 11/4/2008 7:32:01 PM I'm getting ready to build my next machine. I'm considering whether or not to run two hard drives using Intel Matrix Storage. My basic thought was to run 2x the 300GB WD VelociRaptors but with two partitions per, say 100+100 RAID0 for the OS, apps, and paging (everything but \user) and 200+200 RAID1 mounted at \user. Is this possible to setup in an initial Vista installation without a big undocumented and unsupported science project? Any hints/guides/URLs would be helpful. I got lots of results googling but none seemed to address my question.

Re: Intel MatrixStorage vs. Vista 64? "Dick Watson" <littlegreengecko[ at ]mind-enufalready-spring.com> 11/9/2008 10:46:25 PM Will do. Maybe I was searching for too many solutions in one search… "PaulB" <paulb[ at ]home.net> wrote in message news:e1TVl3pQJHA.4760[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...
