Check the review at www.nikondigital.org for a very good setup menu parameter list, it's down at the bottom of the page. The cheap/good way to use RAW format is to get Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 and then download the Adobe Camera RAW plug-in from Adobe for another $99. The consensus is that ACR is better (and certainly cheaper) than Nikon Capture. Yes, this DOES work with Elements 2. Keep in mind that the RAW format will use approx. DOUBLE the space for each image on your memory card/hard drive/CD-R that JPEG fine will. I remember a Nikon presentation on the D100 that said, if I remember it correctly, JPEG fine is around 4MB per frame vs. 8MB for RAW. Actual resolution should be about the same either way, though some reviews (was it www.dpreview.com?) suggest that the JPEG is slightly softer.
