Get Abit or Iwill. Both are good and look alike. I have Abit KT7A-RAID and so far I am very pleased with it. Both can carry Palomino in the future and are easy for overclock. Iwill is cheaper, hence has more value.
I had Windows instability problems with my 1G@1.2G. The resolution was in the RAM cycle setting. I backed it down from 2 to 3 and now it works fine @ fsb 142. (2x128 pc133 micron cas3 sticks). If you get a better RAM you'll be more successful pushing it at high fsb.
I can hear you.... After 12 years spent with this hobby I can tell you that nowdays you need about $450/year to be relatively satisfied with your hardware. If you can keep yourself around that amount you're OK. I know people though, who are spending a lot more without beeing able to afford it...

I did the same you are thinking to do. First, after you move the drives, you have to redefine the RAID from the HPT menu, which erases the information on your previous Promise RAID strip. Then you have to go through fdisk and create there your new partition. The last step is to format your new...
Get Abit KT7A-RAID. I have it running already 2 weeks with overclocked TB 1G to 1.2, with 6 controllers stuffed on it and perfectly functional RAID1 (I do uncompressed video on it). Both Win ME and Win 2000 installed on my system feel pretty comfortable so far. At first it took me some time to...
