    If the processor does not support SSE then this is obviously a bad idea. Early AMD processors like the thunderbird and early durons don't have SSE support. Intel processors have SSE support on by default, so you don't need to do any changing for them.

    Win2k versus the RAID

    What does the event log say - Are you getting delayed write errors, timeouts, or errors regarding the device drivers or the SCSI subsystem. Have you done a full chkdsk on the array to check for bad sectors.

    IDE Controller

    Yes it matters. The last plug should always be populated otherwise the cable is unterminated causing signal corruption. Some controllers/motherboards are picky about the Master/Slave/Single (WDC) jumpers causing either slow detection or failure in detection of the drives.
