What memory for an E6850 at 1666FSB?

Have to be really "unlucky" to have a HDD failure (especially on a relatively new drive). Yeah i know but im saying - its not critical (always keep backups of those files elsewhere)...

Hey what ya got on there lol... (probs porn) ... kidding

I think you would not be able to recover if you had to replace the mobo, particularly if it was not exactly the same. You probably could if you used an add-on raid controller, but then the same question could be asked of the add-on raid controller.

made a typo in the subject and it wont let me edit

the subject should be "What memory for an E6850 at 1333FSB?"

Use "quickedit"......

i thought i tied the quick edit, but i did not have permission to change the post.

so if my motherboard/cpu or whatever has gone wrong is going to prevent me from accessing the raid disks data using the raid controller that put the data there and created the raid set.

is there no other way i can get at the data?

i very much doubt my old motherboard (with the built in raid) and processor are going to start up again.

(the data is old family vhs camcorder videos from 10+ years ago that i have recorded to avi, then edited and burnt to DVD, so very important to me and my family that the data is not lost)

You might be able to use some kind of recovery software to get your "RAID" data off of the drives. The only other way to do it would be with the same motherboard, or one with the same RAID controller. That's the limitation with onboard RAID controllers when the motherboard fails.

great

the motherboard is over 5 years old and i think it is dead (either that or the processor is dead)
i was hoping that as it is raid 1 that all the data is on both disks and readable by non raid controllers.

i would expect raid 0 or other raid configurations to be less than simple to recover from such an error
