Looking at upgrading the computer to be a bit faster when multitasking and a bit more stable. I just want to run a few ideas past some people 1st
Current spec:
Quad 6600
4gb Ram 667mhz
500gb hdd
Radeon 4850 512mb card
Vista 64
The hdd is getting a bit full and i'm looking at upgrading to 1tb samsung drives in raid 1, which i think is better for stability and recovery????
The next thing was possibly more ram. The motherboard will support 2 slots of ddr3 or 4 slots of ddr2. So 4gb of ddr3 or 8gb ddr2? Will i notice this over the current 4gb? (the 8gb ddr2 would be faster 1066mhz)
The computer is mainly used for photo stuff and multiple applications that my girlfriend uses for work. It also serves as a media centre for our extender box for the tv. Currently running CS3, CS4 is on the horizon
Cheers for you time and thoughts
