Time to get a new compy?

and as for room, its not so much that I don\'t think I have the Desk space for it.  My desk was built for a computer, but my space for a monitor is concave, and I don\'t want it to block my view of the monitor, although  I doubt it will.

For Monitors here\'s what I\'m looking at...

Agree\'d with MM.

You aren\'t going to use 2 Gigs of RAM.
Raid 0 means you have double the risk of losing your data. Not to mention you are not going to notice a performance jump and in some cases, may lose performance with a RAID 0 setup.

Yeah I won\'t need the 2 Gigs now, but in say 2 years, I\'ll be ready, as opposed to havuing to replace 2x 512 with 2x 1024

in two years...you\'ll be upgrading your PC anyways.  hell, DDR probably will be history in 2 years

"futureproofing" is a stupid term in relation to computers.  it\'s a lie

I got a gig and a half right now. Been thinking about going up to two but I figure another 512 wont make any difference.

Go RAID 0. We don\'t care. It\'s your money to waste.
