You did not mention the partitioning setup or how you configured the virtual memory... hopefully, with all of those HDD's, you made sure the virtual memory being used by XP is on something other then the main HDD for the operating system. This is a common mistake many make. If you have more then one drive, it is ALWAYS better to have the virtual memory on the second drive, on a separate partition at the beginning of the disk, this way both can be spinning at the same time while crunching a very large file. In fact, I would recommend having your production files on a third drive, giving the OS three different drives all with independent functions. Sounds like a pretty powerful system.

Sounds like your new system will scream (thinking to myself: Jared’s new box is powerful enough it should come with a kick starter). It should help with productions and schedules. Cheers, ~SEOWolf Great read Jared.
