    Asus A7N8X2.0 Barton XP2500@2387 upgrade path?

    I have this same setup and my plan is going with a faster video card "I have ATI 9700pro" otherwise you pretty much have to go with new stuff. Your CPU is preforming as good as 3200 is going to so your are pretty much stuck there until you want to do a big upgrade. The new Geforce cards just...

    As far as I know there is nothing like that runs off of USB...you would best of just setting up a rackmount server with a bunch of storage. I think you can get 4U cases so you could build your own rackmount unit which will be alot cheaper then using server hardware. Anything else is going to...

    Raid0 Question.

    I wouldn't go with Raid 0. I have messed around with it alittle and read alot on it and its just not worth it you don't get that big of a preformance gain and the risk of losing everything goes way up if you lose one drive you lose everything that is on both.
