Ya, I worded my comments wrong. I was just wondering if anyone had any history of running PT on a dual core vs. single core and noticed a difference. PostgreSQL is multithreaded, but I don't know how that translates to real world performance and all. Even if it's not faster, avoiding stalls may be worth the extra loot.
As for the raptor, I'll think about it. I'm trying to balance speed and noise. Hence the super duper heatsink and the Antec P180... (which may be overkill but gosh darnit I love thermalright. :-P)

Thermalright makes damn nice heatsinks. I also use a XP-120. If you want to cut the noise I would suggest a Panaflo L1A 120mm fan for it. Also, the Nexus 120mm fans are great quiet case fans. Highly recommended from
