The 7450 and 7850 can support the 160gig disks with a firmware upgrade. The upgrade is probably available for download on their site now, but you can always request it from their support people if it isn't. The last time I checked, they were planning to release it to the public back in November or December. Also, the 7450/7850 are VERY fast. Personally, I think you would be foolish to load the cpu with the chore when the card is probably at LEAST as fast.
