Hmm
With what you have their already you have a nice set-up. I would go with a dual AMD 64 set-up and a couple of SCSI drives. Coupled with a nice vid card, you'll be one fast son-of-a-gun.

SATA Raptors in Raid 0 is plenty fast IMHO. Opteron's not really doing it for me. Looks like a AMD 64 setup for me. Have to research it a bit first look for the right mobo/cpu setup and memory combo to compliment it but looking for something with an excellent SATA Raid chipset.
These are good problems (shopping for Hardware) but agreed a new vidcard is in order, yet this 9700Pro handles everything I throw at it.
