Ok debating with my self but what would be better?
1) Two 36GB Raptors in RAID 0 with a back up 60GB (already have)
2 x $110 = ~$220
or....
2) Dual channel 2x512MB PC 3500 or 3700
$240-$260
Currently I RMA'ed a HyperX stick that would not run at the right Timings so now I have a streched stick of Cas2 Corsair 2700 that seems to do fine a 3500 speeds on cas 2.5 and almost 3GB/sec mem bandwidth. And I have a 60GB 7200 RPM Maxtor that has a 2MB buffer -_-
Price makes no difference becuase it is about $30, so which would be faster/better upgrade.
