He apparently has an SSD. Maybe even two in Raid0.

3 Vertex in RAID 0.

i didn't make raid and i didn''t oc my components.
I'm absolute beginner on this and i won't try it.

My 4890 received 7.6 in both graphics categories - one card. Those 260's are getting old.

That's the way to go - although I found that 1 lone SSD is ample for daily work.

They were cheap, and work just fine. There subscore was above 7.6, 7.8 I believe. I paid twice as much for 1, 8800 GTX SC ACS, years ago.

isnt raid 0 pointless because whatever gets screwed up is screwed up on both drives anyway? or is it just in raid 0 for speed.

You are right. Since it is striped over 2 (or more) disks, you lose everything once one of the RAID0 disks goes south.
I can see an interest in RAID for spinning disks because they are so slow. But with SSDs, you get tremendous speed with just one SSD. I doubt that the additional speed from a RAID setup really buys you anything in actual operation. Reason is that the access time does not change with RAID - and that is what gives you the speed for the OS. The data transfer rate is of minor importance because the OS does not shove so much data around. And for large file storage, the SSDs are still too expensive.

I,2,3..... drives in RAID 0, one goes the array is useless, dead, non-functional. It is all about performance. Most people will mirror the array with a backup to save your data.
