Thanks for your help Joel!
Since I haven't bought the disks yet, what would your thoughts be on using
SCSI instead of SATA? I remember somebody on the forum (perhaps it was
you) telling me that Ultra320 was much faster that SATA.
If I decide to use SCSI, which medium end (as per price) Ultra320 RAID 0
adapter you for sure works with SuSE 9.1?
Regards from Lima, Perú!

From previous postings, I've learned that it's possible to have RAID 0 and SATA on a Tyan Thunder K8W with the included Silicon Image RAID Accelerator (although in a manner similar to software RAID).
However, I still have some questions before I start assembling my system (the parts are coming in :-) ). - Will I be able to use GRUB, or should I stick with LILO? - I need to dual boot between Linux, and unfortunately, Win XP. Can I have GRUB (or LILO) set up, and RAID 0, for both operating systems (obviously, on different partitions)? - Can I boot Linux from /boot on a RAID 0 partition? I'm currently doing this with SuSE 9 on Intel (32 bits), but have to use LILO.... Thank you VERY MUCH for your help and expertise.
