Default Re: New Computer: Which Upgrades Are Worthwhile?

You're always paying a premium for the latest and greatest processors. It's definitely not worth the money. Those harddrives seem excessive. I would get 2 10k RPM raptor drives and stripe them. Much less storage space, but much better speed. They use 18gig platters, so the sizes are either 36gb or 72gb. Ram is overpriced when upgraded by the OEM. Buy it later and put it in yourself (or have any monkey with a screwdriver put it in if you don't want to).
