OK, here's my problem. I've got an old-ish EVGA nforce4 939 board, and just bought myself a shiny new 8800GT card. When I go to install it, I realize that it's covering up my SATA1 and SATA2 ports on the MB. Of course, I installed my RAID0 array using those two ports. So, here are my questions:
1. How can I migrate my RAID0 to SATA3 and SATA4, which would both be available? I'm afraid to try this without backing up my system/reinstalling Windows, which I hope to avoid taking the time to do.
2. Has anyone used 90-degree angled SATA cables to get around a blocking issue? I don't mind trying that, but probably can't find those cables locally and would have to wait if I order them online. I don't like waiting!
3. If I just say heckwithit and use one of the PCI-E 8x slots instead of my main (16x) slot, is this going to slow down my shiny new 8800GT?
Any advice would be appreciated.
