Re: computer upgrade - help
Right motherboard, but wrong cpu(you want the 3700+ "Clawhammer"). Read the first page of the thread "Best desktop PC for Protools"(it is updated on a regular basis). You absolutely need a seperate hard drive for audio. Adding a partition to your system drive will do absolutley nothing to increase performance. WD, Seagate and Maxstor are all great drives so buy the cheapest in the size you want and make sure it is 7200rpm and 8mb cache. If you get 160gig or larger, I would partition the audio drive into 60-80gig sections as it makes for easier "housekeeping". My cheap system below scores 32+5 on the DAVEC test.
