If your looking for storadge, id get 2 200gb wds, there about 200 bucks here in the states. And those babies in striped raid would be tight! But if your looking for speed, go with the new SATA 36gb wd raptors. The spin at 10k and out perform scsi drives in some departments! 2 of those bad boys on mirror would be tight as hell! In regards to a upgrade on the AMD side, i would wait for the amd 64 and 64FX to mature a bit and wait for a reversion on the Nforce 3 and kt800. That would be your best bet. A partial upgrade to a barton core wouldnt be that worth it...wait till tis mid- to late october, my inside sources say we will see a serious price drop. |Drew|
