I am setting up a Q6600 computer with 8GB RAM and a decent Mobo (Asus P5Q-E or ABIT IP35 Pro LGA). I need to setup an OS drive and don't know which setup to do. I want at least RAID 1. I have the following drives:
2 36Gb Raptors
2 74Gb Raptors
7 500Gb WD & Seagates
3 250Gb WD
1 320Gb WD

The above are all SATA. The Raptors are SATA I, some of the 500's are SATA II.

Would the 74's in RAID1 be the best option?
