It's getting RAM that matches the CPU that's usually more important

Just check the CPU support list, shouldn't be too hard

675701 2008-06-05 10:04:00 Unless you are wanting to bust money, don't buy Raptors, either the new 640gb WD or the new Samsung F1 Spinpoint are far cheaper and have the same performance with a slighty slower access time. Unless of course you are getting velociraptors, but thats another story :lol: dirtbag (6060)

JJJJJ, if you wanted fast Hard disks, you should have gone for the new VelociRaptor drives. They're faster, quieter, cooler, and larger capacity than the older Raptors that you ordered.

[EDIT: And I'm not going to mention price as it's obvious that price really doesn't matter all that much to you - so long as it's the fastest thing out there :p ]

Which version of Windows XP Pro? 32 or 64 bit?
If not 64 bit then why 4 gigs RAM?

Just my thought!
