I agree with BB, going from ATA100 to ATA133 you won't see much of a difference.
BUT going from 2mb cache to 8mb cache, I saw a substantial improvement when using large files, which I do on a regular basis creating DVD's of family/friends home movies.
As for HD's where you will see the biggest improvment is if you can go into a Raid 0 configuration, meaning you'd have to have 2 HD's. Others here could explain that more. I just did a Raid 0 on a friends machine and saw a good increase in response.
As for the processor, if you're REALLY concerned about speed, the 3200 will be best. But the 2800 is a Barton core, and most likely you will get the best "bang for the buck" from it. |
