Hyperthreading worth the extra cost?

Thinkin about it as a xmas present. I'm not sure what board I want, though I'd like it to have SATA RAID (can windows boot from a SATA RAID set-up?), and have a 400FSB. To go w/ the mobo, Corsair XMS PC3200 512MB ram, and maybe two of those new WD 10,000 RPM SATA drives >=-)

There's prob some other crap I want I can't think of at the moment cause I'm exhausted. I'd appreciate motherboard suggestions though

Hi,

With a 865PE/875P based board with ICH5R, you get SATA RAID on the chipset (WinXP, 2000 only). Get a good board with OC features and aim for 3.2 GHz. Obviously I am suggesting a P4 with HT setup. Some boards:

Asus P4P800
Abit IS7
Asus P4P800 Deluxe
