Building a new PC but....


Why does RAID drivers still come on floppy disk???

Hellgate London forced me to build a new gaming PC.

Intel board, Intel E6700, 4 gigs of Corsair, Nvidia 8800GTS, 2 80gig HD's in RAID 0, 1 dvd burner optical. No floppy.

Open the intel board box, and two floppies staring at me for RAID drivers. Who builds with a floppy drive anymore?

Plus - I'm running a dual boot of XP and Vista home Premium. So, do i need to boot RAID drivers for Vita AND XP?

And I now have to pick up a floppy drive on the way home.

Also- thinking about picking up a 200 gig HD as a back up. Running a RAID 0+1 ? Would this mirror the RAID 0, and in case one of my RAID drives die I wouldn't lose any data? I want to RAID 0 for performance...

Any ideas?
