Just got a dell dimension 5150. It's got a SATA seagate barracuda 7200.7 80GB HD in it. I want to add a RAID1 drive to mirror. How do I find out if my MB is RAID compatable?

If it isn't, then I just need to buy a RAID card and new HD and install them, correct?

This is my work computer and I just had a HD crash so that's the reasoning for wanting the RAID1 setup.
Thanks
 
Step one) take a hammer
Step two) beat the crap out of your dell

Seriously, yeah a raid card will allow you to have raid, since they don't have an onboard controller.
 
Ok, another RAID question. Can I add a RAID1 drive to an existing system? I mean, how does all of the pre-existing data get transferred over.
