Yes, intel matrix raid or summat. I know supershanks uses it on his commando and likes it.
Yep - the Intel Matrix raid is pretty good and dead simple to set up. Using raid0 on my system made a huge difference in boot times, general performance etc.
D-tek fuzion, or apogee gtx are the waterblocks of choice at the moment, and they also are excellent for quad core, should you decide to upgrade in the future. Most places will let you choose which barbs you want.
so... what's the difference between P5K and P5B deluxe...?
I ordered the P5B with my E4300... :S
My System: Coolermaster Centurion 5 (black) case, Intel E6750 Core2Duo, Tagan Easy-Con 530W, Asus P5B Deluxe WIFI, OCZ 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 CL 4-4-4-15 PLATINUM XTC, Samsung SpinPoint 200Gb SATA2 / 2 x Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200Gb SATA, 256Mb Sapphire ATI PCI-E X1950PRO, Creative X-Fi Xtreme 7.1, 19" Daewoo W9ZQ Black Widescreen TFT, 4Mb Virgin Cable Broadband (formerly Blueyonder) with Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G and DD-WRT firmware.
