wily - thanks for the input...here goes...hope I am not showing my ignorance too much.

re: RW - does RAID provide me with enough redundancy to not have to do back ups...I really don't need everything

I always thought I wanted dual processors but somehow I got talked out of it...that it was not a technology that would be used by a lot of the software/programs out there...you are right it is not much of an additional cost

I thought this was going to be as simple as spending too much money...now am having to rethink my machine - should have bought it first, and asked questions later hehehe

Thanks Again

Cormac

PS - I do know Eric and will drop him a line... though he is a busy man

Wily,

Speaking of dual processor setup, read anything about i840 system lately?

Awhile back, I read at tomshardware.com or sharkyextreme.com, that this is one hot setup - the i840 being much superior to the i820.
