What would be a better upgrade between these two choices. I am looking for a better overall performance response at multitasking and gaming to some extent.

1- two WD Raptors in a striped RAID array.

2-More RAM.

This would go into the machine listed below.

Thanks in advance.

I would say more RAM...

1 gig memory is pretty conducive to a smooth system... the raptors will run you more money afaik and I am not a big fan of striped drives... there is a performance boost in gaming but not so sure about multi-tasking... more RAM helps wrt multi-tasking IMO due to extra mem available when needed...

probably more cost effective and efficient to get more RAM :D

my $0.02...
 
Another vote for the RAM.

Great, Thanks for all your input. It is very valuable.

RAM, it will be.

Your processor, hard drive, and memory are most important in determining your PC speed (in that order).

I saw this on the TechTV website which no longer exists. It might help you decide.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
