1,5 GB CAS 2 RAM
36 gb Raptor HD (+120gb hd and 80gb hd)
Radeon 9600PRO (400/680mhz)
SB Audigy 2

You can probly OC your 2500 to 3200+ speeds. What type of ram you got?
I say that with better ram you could OC your CPU to 3200 speeds and then get a new Gen Vid 6800Gt or X800pro and you got yourself a real nice system...

Asus P4P800DX, P4C 2.6ghz@3.25ghz, 2X512 OCZ PC4000 3-4-4-8, Leadtek FX5900 w/ FX5950U bios@500/1000, 2X30gig Raid0

You have a great computer, nothing much to upgrade.

For not a lot of money, you could upgrade your hard drive to a better speed, get a SATA RAID controller with 2 SATA identical drives to get RAID 0 support.

Fast hard drive will result with very fast programs and windows starting up.

I'm suprised you did not reccomend a super-stable Intel upgrade. You know, because that *crappy* AMD chip, which is probably causing it to rain outside, really needs replacing :lol:
