DC RAID Configuration

Hi,

I have to deploy about 30 2003 DCs. 2500 users across 40 Europe wide
locations. Each server has 6 disks. I have two issues.

1) Do I make three mirrors and put OS on 1, SYSVOL on 2 and NTDS.dit
on 3. Ten where does the page file go? I have 2GB memory.

2) My onboard RAID Controller does not have battery back up. Do I
insiste that we get new cards or should we stick with onboard. If we do
should I enable write back on the cache.

Any thoughts? Joe from Joeware published a response to a similar
question in 2004, but nowhere I look does MS say. HP recommend the
above but dont mention page file. I am proposing keeing it with the OS
unless soemone out there can give me a more definite pointer.

TIA

James
