Dual boot linux with Windows7 all on a Raid (0) array? I found a bargain, MSI MS-7596 (760GM-E51) motherboard. But my only MSI motherboard experience, left a very bad taste in my mouth from years ago. BIOS nightmare.... Anyway the motherboard doc says it supports (Sata-II) RAID 0 1 0+1 or JBOD mode by AMD SB710. This does not sound like a good choice of MOBO and anyone with any raid/gentoo/ experience on a MSI motherboard (MS 7596) or such would be appreciated as to you opinion. I usually specify ASUS, as over the years, I've had very little trouble. Dual 2T RAID 0 drives with windows and gentoo is my goal; and any recommendations are most welcome. AMD is the only processor I use.... tia, James
