May I ask if you mean LVM2 with software raid? How is its impact on cpu
load? Yes indeed, upgrading form current 754-socket to 939-socket would be
an option in the future. Could I transfer the two SATA drives into another
PC an access that raid0 with linux if I use LVM2 for raid setup?
I ask because I never did something like that nor have I heard about it.
Setting up such a 640GB raid is a decision that has to be well considered.

Thanks for help and hints.

Peter
