I'm about to put together a Core2 Duo system to be used as a compute

suggestions. I don't care about graphics performance at all, the
system will running without X, but I do care about CPU, memory and
disk performance. I'm planning on an E6700 with 4G of DDR2 800 and a
pair of Seagate 320G SATA drives in a RAID 0 configuration. I'll be
running 64 bit FC5 or FC6 on hte box. I have an SATA DVD ROM so I
think I have a way around the problems with the JMicron PATA
controller.

You may want to have a look at this:

I realise it's a windows based, but does have a fair amount of detailed
benchmarking re: RAID/disk performance. Plus, it includes the AB9 Pro.
