I'm looking to replace my dual 1GHz P3 VP6 machine - capacitors are starting to die and I can't afford to have lockups while working.
I'm looking to replace the motherboard, processor and memory and keep all my other components - G4Ti4200, Firewire card (if needed), drives, etc.
I'm presently using the RAID 0 from the motherboard with 2x120GB drives - RAID support (or a cheap add-in card) is a requirement.
I do some video editing, lot's of VB programming and Excel VBA, games like Diablo II.
I'm probably not going to overclock the chip, and I don't need the *very* fasted P4 on the market - just looking for a serious speed bump from dual P3@1Ghz.
Prefer Intel over AMD, but I can be swayed.
So, what are your suggestions?
Andy
