I suggest Diablo's setup. Just for the record, theres nothing wrong with Sound Blasters. If your looking for all around system speed, then getting 2 HDD running on Raid0 will help alot. Your computer is constantly searching for data from your HDD. Raid0 splits the data in 2's, each half is divided onto both HDD. Pretend you had 4 HDD in raid0, then its divided in 4's. Nobody really gets 4 HDD running on raid0. But the speed increase from that type of setup is insane.
