Critique my upgrade plan

Doesn't look too bad to me. Personally, I'd toss the RAID0 config and get a larger single drive. But if you're not worried about reliability, eh, it'll work. :)
 
I would definitely keep the Raptors, they make a heck of a difference when used as a boot drive, especially since he has a raid 5 array for storage elsewhere.


BTW ~ The upgrade plan looks good.

74GB raptors are faster than the 36GB ones, and WD is supposed to come out soon with the 16MB cache version of the raptors.
 
except for gaming it is way overkill, you could do all the other tasks on a Duron and 512 MB ram. You could do all the other tasks with a P II and 256 MB ram. You could do all the other tasks on a Pentium 200 and 256 MB ram. Using Linux :cool:
 
OpenOffice on a Pentium 200? Maybe if you're into S&M. Sure, linux runs great on a P200... if you're doing iptables and web serving. My Celeron 300A w/128MB of RAM makes a killer web, ftp, and ssh server, but most DE's are going to be dog-ass slow by themselves on a P200, much less when running resource-hungry apps like Office stuff.

Anyway, the plan looks good, but personally I'd save a few bucks on the MB by going to a 6100/6150 solution and probably get a faster processor.
