I can answer the last one, With RAID, you're only supposed to have one drive
on each controller.  This is so you can do fast bus transfers since you can only
use one drive at a time.  Granted, you're supposed to do it like this, but you
don't _have_ to.  How you should put the devices depended on what level of raid
your using however.

Hope this helps.

motherboards that support AMD Duron 750 - 950Mhz and/or Thunderbird 800 - 1.4Ghz and has 5 or 6 
PCI, one AGP, and 3 or 4 RAM slots? If so, can you tell me what they are. I specially want one that 
includes 2 raid channels and 2 IDE channels (or 4 IDE channels).
