The EM64T is just the additional 64 bit extensions. Since you are using=20
less than 4 GB of RAM you won't use the 64-bit extensions, I would use the=
=20
i386 version.
Set up the RAID 1 Array first, and make sure it is a single volume.
When you do your install you should see 2 drives, one is the 80 GB drive,=
=20
the second is the RAID volume.
Hope this helps.
