    Which drive for storage?

    I don't think I will ever use it for the OS so if that's the only benefit of the extra cache then probably I don't need it? Regarding the hardware, it's MSI K8N Diamond nForce4 SLi with an X2 4400 cpu.

    Which drive for storage?

    250 Gb is probably the minimum. The Hitachi is also SATA2, isn't it? And would the extra cache make a difference for me?

    Which drive for storage?

    Thanks for the reply, but in which way would the Western Digital be better from the Hitachi for my needs?

    Which drive for storage?

    It will be mainly video. Which 250 Gb SATA though, is the Hitachi my best option?

    Which drive for storage?

    I already have a 150 Gb raptor but as I intend doing plenty of video editing, I need a second drive for storage, probably around 250 Gb. Which one should I go for and do I need raid? Cheers

    X850 XT or X1800XL?

    I know, I know but believe me it's not that simple and I can't really explain it here. Do you think the 1800XL would be better than the 7800GT and also which one would be more quiet?

    Gigabyte K8N-Pro-SLi Motherboard?

    So which memory should I go for? (cpu will be X2 4400+)? I was thinking the Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200PT TwinX (2x1GB). Will that cause me any problems and what should I do?

    X850 XT or X1800XL?

    Does a Sapphire Radeon X1800XL 256 justifies its almost £100 extra cost compared to a Powercolor Radeon X850XT 256MB DDR3? Or should I go in between for a Inno3D GeForce 7800GT 256MB?

    Gigabyte K8N-Pro-SLi Motherboard?

    No I won't do any overlocking, so is the consensus that I will be ok and I shouldn't have any heat/stability problems? Thanks for the replies

    Gigabyte K8N-Pro-SLi Motherboard?

    A mate who is supposed to know (I know very little) has recommended them but I have my doubts. They also come with the faster firewire (IEEE1394b) compared say to asus

    Spec me please?

    Need to build/buy a good system mainly for video editing and 3d rendering. Budget is £1000-£1100, I need everything except the screen and would probably prefer the X2 4400+ processor. Cheers for any help!

    Up to £100, but less is best :D
