Your CPU's fine, the whole system is fine.

If you're getting slow downs, look at what you have running in the background etc.

Also I take it you're running either 3*1GB or 2*1GB and 2*512MB of RAM. You may find you'd actually get better performance running only 2*1GB as you should be able to run at a command rate of 1T and probably tighten up the timings or overclock it higher. Try it out and see, I know I would, there aren't any games out there that will be making use of your 3GB, 2GB is plenty and some.

Command rate has almost no affect on performance; whereas having to load data onto a HDD has a TERRIBLE performance loss because it is so much slower.

I know that, I was just suggesting possible performance enhancements, considering the OP already has raptors in RAID a top end video card etc .. there really isn't too much he can do to improve performance.

Regarding the HDD performance, right now the OP probably has one of the best HDD solutions available without spending lots and lots of dollar. I don't know exactly what you'd do to improve his I/O solution but alot of people around here would kill for what he has already.
