Hi Guys
Many thanks for that. I will add a 2nd SATA drive, sounds like an affordable solution. RAID sounds pricey and tricky.
I will also put in more memory and do a dual boot with Windows 7 64-bit to utilise it.
Couple of other things…
– my 2.33Ghz quad core…you reckon it’s not great bang for buck upgrading this? The newer quad core chips ain’t cheap let alone an i7
– GFX card: my ATI Radeon 3650 with only 256MB…is it worth considering a swap to nvidia? Am thinking in terms of stability as well as performance
Thanks
Kevin
