update*

i have a enermax Galaxy 1000 watt PSU, 4 HDD each is a western digital Raptor 10,000 rpm 150gb HD

2 WD raptors 150gb 10krpm in RAID 0 , other 2 in RAID 1

If you were going with a new system, why didn't you go Intel? Quad core is nice, but only if you have an app programmed for it. Most stuff doesn't even use dual core yet!

It sounds like a good system though. I'm getting close to an upgrade - x1900 XTX w/ 4400 X2, etc. is getting a little slow. I'm thinking about going Intel this time around since I need compression processing speed. My 4400 takes too long to do an AVI, and properly compressing with CCE for mpg still takes over an hour or two depending on film length. AVISynth is single thread only regardless if CCE is multithreaded - which means I get about 75% CPU utilization on the dual core. HD speed also needs to rise since that is another area that I am bogging on - demuxing an mpg, even using RAID 0 perpendicular drives that are 30 mb/sec (110 mb/sec sustained) faster than my older RAID 0, still takes forever.

As you can see, the cogs are turning for my next upgrade.
