HARD DRIVE:
(1) Western Digital Raptor WD360ADFD 36GB 10000 RPM SATA 1.5Gb/s Hard Drive (For OS)
(2) Western Digital 120GB SATA 1.5Gb/s 7200RPM (For file storage/Games)
OS:
Microsoft XP Home 32-Bit
(Have optimized many properties of windows & system settings to make everything faster)
Ok now I'm not a bottleneck expert.. so I don't know what will bottleneck what..
I'm thinking that I should do one or more of these things:
- Get another 9600 GT for SLI mode
- Get Windows XP Pro 64-bit
- Overclock dual-core CPU a little
However, I'm not sure how much of a difference any of these things will give me. Has anyone done any of these 3 things and noticed good improvements? Lemme know.
Any suggestions to avoid bottlenecking things?
