Congrats..That should be a nice lil jump in perfomance :)

Wow! Looks like you've gone all out. Looks great. Have fun and good luck with everything! :D

[Tweaked!]

Wow, nice upgrade indeed! You'll be in heaven for sure with that compared to what you've got. Enjoy assemblying that and pushing it to it's limits.:)

Uhh don´t get three 40 Gb drives, get one 120 Gb drive instead. Cheaper and less noise. RAID in any of it´s forms is completely useless in a home computer. Yes there will be a speed advantage if using RAID 0, but this difference will ONLY show in a benchmark program. For everyday use there is absolutely no difference whatsoever. Also remember that the possiblity of losing your data increases twice when using raid 0.

Henry

I'm anxious to see how it does, since its from a batch 1 month newer than my Agoia-9 XP 1800+. Will unlock it in a bit and test it when I get back home from work. Should get in the mail tomorrow and will reach you on Monday I think.
