Yes, that's the motherboard. I don't care much about the names of |
| 22 |
things myself. I had limited options for the new i7-980x processor at |
| 23 |
the time I was ordering the hardware, and I'd never done overclocking |
| 24 |
before (and technically still haven't) so I got it because it was an |
| 25 |
Asus board which I've generally had very good luck with. |

To be clear, the RAID I'm doing is mdadm Linux software RAID and |
| 28 |
nothing having to do with the on-board RAID controller. The machine |
| 29 |
uses the standard Linux SATA drivers, or so I think. |

I like the VSOP idea. :-) |
