I'm upgrading my existing PC - used mainly for programming and general business with a lot of multitasking - with the following components.
Intel LGA 775 Pentium 4 530J 3.0 GHz, 800MHz FSB $178
GIGABYTE "" i865PE Chipset Motherboard $86
Corsair Value Select (Dual Pack) 184 Pin 512MBx2 DDR PC-3200 $131.00
Raptor 76gb Primary Drive $181
Maxtor PATA 300gb Storage Drive $130
Antec Sonata Case (380PS)
Some questions I have are:
1) Does this make sense (given that the Raptor's an indulgence!)?
2) Do I need to bother with a floppy drive - my existing one's crapped out?
3) I'm currently running multiple monitor with an old AGP 4X Matrox Millenium G450 Dual Head video card, which I'm happy with. Should I keep it or will it bottle-neck the new system?
Thanks,
Wayne C.
