    Yea, I'm getting two, I have a spare 60gb on my table, so 200gb should be more than enough. :D

    Actually, 80 x 2 + 60 = 220, I was wrong in the first place. :P.

    It's alright, I didn't realize I did the math wrong until you posted anyway, thanks for the concern though. :)

    get dual chanel ram, shouldn't cost anymore, in fact it's at the point where it is slightly cheaper

    also, no need for more than2 GB at this point, windows XP can't address more than 2.54GB

    you're getting a Pentium D... those use DDR2 ram insteed of DDR1, also, am Athlon X2 4200+ rapes them,

    this is what i WOULD SUGGEST FOR ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT'

    Athlon x2 4200+ processor
    2GB (2*1GB) DDR500 sd Ram
    DFI ultra D motherboard
    7900GT
    two of these in RAID0
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16822144701

    also is ther a reason why you are getting the stuff from tiger direct? they are more expensive than newegg.

    If your going for preforamce isnt it better to get a Raptor 36 gig as boot and 1 of those 250gb as storage?

    if you raid the two, they would outperform a single 36GB raptor in a few things and be really close in a lot of others, plus you can always RAID5 them in time
