    Default Purchasing new 5box computer

    This computer setup will be used for 5boxing with innerspace, and singleboxing with EyeFinity 3x1920x1200 displays. I intend to overclock the i5 to 4,0Ghz with the H50-water cooler to keep the cpu from melting too much

    Ill run 2 cores on main window, and the other 2 cores will run 2 slaves each on low gfx settings.
    When singleboxing I will use a second computer to run the slaves.

    Question: For multiple SSD's, is it better to put them all in Raid-0 and have OS+Data folder on it, or should OS and Data folder be on separate drives?

    Anyone got thoughts or input on this setup?

    Default

    I got no data to prove my point but i went with 2 seperate non-raid SSD's.

    1 for windows/programfiles/anything else that runs in the background
    1 for wowfolder (and the spare room for CoD:MW2 and other new games i play frequently)

    this allows the entire 3GB/s bandwith passtrough to be free for wow data without any sudden windows service starting up and blocking it. I also tend to browse websites and play winamp or a video while leveling or grinding, which again dont clog up the bandwith and seektimes of the wow disk.

    Raid setup would indeed mean higher read/write speeds but i dont know what the effect of windows and stuff on it makes in term of loading speed ingame.
