I was planning to get myself a P5B motherboard for overclocking E6400. However, I found that that mobo has some problems with supporting RAID. The problem is that I don't really know what RAID is and never used it before. All I know it has something to do with connecting harddrives. So, question 1: What the heck is RAID in the first place, and how is it used? Online descriptions weren't very helpful. Question 2: If I'm planning to use several SATA harddrives with P5B, one of 80Gb, one of 250Gb, and one of 320Gb, each partitioned in 2 smaller drives, will it be affected in any way by board's problems with the RAID controller, or is RAID something that I must activate by myself, or use some additional hardware for it? Or, maybe, I can live without it?
Please answer all questions as objective as possible. Thank you for your time.

I'm in the market for a new PC, on a budget of about $750. This leaves me deciding between the AMD 64 x2 5000 and the Intel entry level Core 2 Duo E6300. The video card I chose is the 256 MB X1300 Pro from ATI. I'm looking for a solid performer for video editing and moderate game playing. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
