Thanks Everyone. I was plugging both sticks into the same colored slots. I didn't try changing the settings in the bios. I will try that. What was making me think it was the mobo, is because as soon as I plug in the second stick, it doesn't even get to the bios, nothing. I will check the...

Everyone, I bought a GIGABYTE GA-MA785GMT-UD2H MOBO and g-skill 10666 ddr3 ram 4gb, and if I put in both sticks (each 2gb) the bios never shows and doesn't boot. If I leave one in it does, but then I get all these crazy BSOD at random times. I am thinkig it's a bad mobo, but wasn't ure if...

Cavediver, You beat me to it. I was the one that actually asked the question over at AVS Forum as well, and the answer from MiBz was very good.

I hope I haven't angered anyone, that wasn't my intent. Old Hippie, I am sorry, I did use a variety of ways to look for it on google, but hadn't seen that one. Funny thing is, I know I searched on raid 1 on whs and i just redid that one, and it was the first one there as well - so not sure...

I actually did google RAID 1 and that's how I found out what the differences between the RAID configurations are, etc... But never found much on RAID 1 and WHS, other than a lot of posts about WHS not supporting RAID. If you found it, I must have been using different key words. And trust me...

Everyone, I was getting ready to purchase my equipment for my WHS, when I read another post and found out someone uses RAID 1 on their system drive, so that the OS is continually being mirrored and reduces the chances of losing the OS. Does anyone here actually do that? If so, how would I...

Everyone, Thanks for all the feedback. You have definitely given me pause on what I was thinking. I am re-evaluating now. I was under the imression that I needed higher stuff to stream HD/Blu-Ray, but now realize this isn't completely true. You have slowed down my build ;-) But that is a...

So if I go with the Biostar, I will want to get a better GigE card, utilizing one of the PCI slots right?

Nitrobass, You said that I won't need a separate video card with the ASUS board it states that it doesn't have on-board video. Your link didn't work, so I looked for the board on newegg and came up with this one Was that the board you were talking about?

Alright, is there speed issues when hooking external drives to either the supermicro or the esata? I was planning on using the WD Green drives which are 5400 rpm. Is this fast enough for streaming HD? And if there are speed issues with the externals, when I get to that point should I then...

OK. Sorry about the noob question, but is this a RAID card? Or I guess a better question is, I am not sure what this does, so what does it do?:confused: If I am reading things correctly, does this allow me to connect 8 SATA drives to this card, and the card controls those drives? And if I...

Alright, I am glad you guys are ripping it apart. That is why I posted it. I want to be an informed purchaser. OK, so if Port Multipliers isn't the way to go, what do I need to do when I run out of SATA ports on the MB and want to add more drives, i.e. moving up to 10+? Will Core 2 do High...

Everyone, I have been lurking for a while, researching, and asking questions. I think I have a WHS build that might be ready, but wanted someone else to take a look. If I can get away with doing what I want for less, I am more than open to that :D Here is some background: I have 2...
