Well, i already got an ide drive and the move to a sata drive is not
necessary to me: ide vs Sata are equal in term of performance and sata
would only good for hot swapping and that never occur in home user
pcs.
Well i would use the pata raid fonction if it would by faster than
48.8mb/s in sustained data transfer. using 2 disk to get around 80mb/s
would be nice for my use...

Try futuremark.com and see the other benchmark on that web site...
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=850529
i'va read that the bfg 6800gt O/C. at stock speed runs around 5000
points in 3dm05 so if your near that the system run fine to me....
Have you test your system??? I would love to see the numbers...
