Answered my own question here http://www.microsoft.com/resources/docum...c_overview.mspx Turns out I cant make a dynamic disk with a USB drive. This really sucks.

I bougt an identical disk as my c: partition and installed the new drive. I instaled the drive onto a USB 2.0 external enclosure. now in disk management, i can't upgrade the disk to dynamic. WHY? This is preventing me from making my mirror.

A VRM is a voltage regulitoin module, designed to be a scam for server purchasers. the mobo does not come with it and they can charge extra $ for it when you wanna go dual. I would assume it regulated the voltage... If you need one try the manufacturwer website. If its discontinued try ebay.

My bd I meant to say XP Pro can do raid 1, XP home cannot. Only the windows servers can do raid 1 and 5 wth software.

if I was buying one of these 2 today, oit'd be ATI by a long shot. Ownage in pixel shader, ownage in dieect3d games. not so good in opengl, but plenty strong anyways. I dont see pixel shader 3 suport as being any value. by the time games come out using it, it will be time for a new card anyways.

Agreed, after seeing their original .product, hen seieng the intro to this, it does look very washed out and not colourful. Then the game starts. Incredible. source for the original .product was available for a fee too, perhaps they will do the same for this, for those that are interested. For those interested: My 2nd machine, Athlon 2500+ barton overclocked to 2000 Mhz (no multiplier lock on the one I got, JOY!!) and ATI radeon 128 MB 8500 LE, and 512 MB system ram, the game is very choppy. This will give you an idea of the horsepower needed to run this game. On my dual AMD 2600 MP riog with All in wonder radeon 9700 Pro, runs smoth as silk.

The main purpose here was to squish it down to under 100K. The website however does say hes planning on releasing a "Non-lite" version with extra stuff init that is larger.

Its not a geforece 4 fx 5600, iots geforce FX 5600 (or 5700)

here is the big picture. 1) Win2000 and Xp pro can do raid-0 with softare. Xp home can't. 2) Using windows software raid, you can't boot off it 3) If you want to boot off it you must use hardware raid, whether its an addon card or if your builtin controlers will handle it. 4) I highly recommend you don't do it, unless you have a regular tape backup or something backing up all your data al the time.

this is one amazing piece of work. Pixel shader 1.3 required, gf4 mx 440 users can't run it. Fully 3d, high poly count, lighting effects etc. It has to be seen to be believed. These dudes also made the .product , which was under 64k, for those that have seen it. Its called .kkrieger http://theprodukkt.com/

Go to "Services" and enable "DHCP client."

No problem, it is a true mirror, so it is every bit as good as a regular disk.

My P3 800 dual I currently run has 2 processors with different stepping (whatever that means if ayone knows pease splain it for me.) they run great too and have for years.

Easy peezy, probably. I ran into sme issue with an HP server. In my case, it needed a VRM (voltage regulation module) Bought directly from hp for the bios to see the cpu. You probably have the same isue.

Withut dfs yo'd just do \\computername\sharename, the doain isnt needed because each machine will have it's own name. (You don't name machines the same in your network, it would be chaos.) I'm not saying for sure it can't be done, as I have not actually tried.
