My current system:
ECS K7S5A
XP 1600+
512 MB Nanya pc2100
Visiontek GF3 TI200
SB Live value
40 Gig ata100 7200 rpm maxtor HD
Lite on 16X dvd
Lite on 32X burner
I have a bad case of the upgrades and I want some advice. Should I upgrade the CPU to a 2000+ or should I replace the mobo with something that has onboard RAID? I hear different things about running RAID 0..... Some people say it has huge effects on performance and some say it has none. Also would I notice a difference if I replace the CPU? Or should I just say screw it and wait until the next generation CPU's (Opteron) and Video cards come out this fall? I can't justify going to GF4 right now.
Thanks
