I guess great minds think alike. I just ordered the same processor (AMD64 X2
4800-now getting increasingly hard to find); upgrading from an AMD64 3200.
Looking for a bit extra under the hood.

Got a bit of extra money so naturally blew it on computer parts...

Aren't you running a Gigabyte socket 939 mombo like I am? I just 
upgraded mine from an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ to an AMD Athlon 64 X2 
4800+ which I believe is the fastest a socket 939 mombo will go. I'm 
running an ATI X800 w/ 256 meg video & SATA Raid 0 with dual 74g 
Raptors. If this won't run the Ultimate edition I don't know what 
will but IIRC you're running something similar. I know my upgrading 
CPUs after 2yrs was at least as big an improvement as many would 
experience when going from 256 to 512 meg of ram or a larger faster 
video card. I'll have to renew my MAPS subscription after the 1st of 
the year because I hate to upgrade my OS for something that is just
different.

Is there a comparison of what Vista will do on a hardware setup as 
compared to XP ? I know when XP came out MSFT bragged all over the 
place with their Go Pro Kit & elsewhere about how much faster 
different processes were when running XP.
