My system had an upgrade of CPU, mobo and RAM just this year, rest of the stuff is 2 years old. Will upgrade when needed. Alienware is good but would you pay nearly twice as much compared to our systems for prettier packaging? Check out the system we are currently building... 2 x 36GB Raptor drives in Raid 0 as a system disk to be put in as well.

System internals/hardware is what counts IMO. Having a pretty case not a necessity although, having an efficient quiet cooling case is also up there. Hmmm.. Blue-Ray DVD compared to HD DVD Blue-Ray has huge capacity but, VHS v Betamax all over again, (that's another thread) I'll sit on the fence on that choice..

Yes, running 64bit rendering packages too, 3DS Max 9, Autocad 2008 etc, so with these programmes, I really need 8gb ram running high mhz's. I know xp doesn't support 8gb. I'd rather run XP tho. The 4gb is still good though. -------------

Raptors are good for system disks, in Raid 0. Storage disks are fine using the new perpendicular harddrives which provide close enough performance for much less money. ------------- http://www.kinmak.com - KinMak.com - http://www.elara.ie - Elara Online |
