Well, if speed is the order of the day, I would suggest adding a Western
Digital "Raptor" 10,000rpm SATA 36 GB harddrive to use exclusively as the C:
boot drive for Windows. Then the OS would be operating lightening fast, and
your applications on the 250 GB would not be slowed down when the computer
accesses the OS on the Raptor drive. I set up a similar computer for a
friend this way and it made a big difference.

Hello

I have just brought a system consisting of:-
Amd athlon 64 r 4800 Dual core
Asus A8N SLI motherboard
4Gb ddr400 ram
250Gb Seagate baracuda sata
Nvidia Fx3400 PciE graphics card
Liteon dual layer dvdrom
Antec 550w psu
Antec performance II case

Can this be made to go faster?

I will get this next week, but I would like to know if it can be improved.
