Much appreciate the VistaBootPro recommendation. I will definitely be dual booting either XP or Vista-32bit along with Vista-64
I’m definitely getting a board that can handle lots of 1066 memory. Starting with 4Gb and will go to more if needed.
Yes, SATAII with a 150Gb Raptor is certainly one of my considerations. But I am seriously leaning towards a solid state alternative for the C: drive. The 32Gb SSDs from Sandisk and Mtron look pretty interesting when two are put together in a RAID0 config, especially the Mtron which is more expensive but a lot faster than Sandisk. But even more, I’m looking at the 80Gb Fusion io "ioDrive" which is said to be "1000 faster than any HDD on the market." At an expected $2400 when it releases in December, it seems like an insane choice, but having a "disk" that is essentially as fast as RAM is pulling very hard on my wallet. If you want to take an early look go to:

Or the Fusion io site at <http://www.fusionio.com/>
I’d love to know what other Photoshop users are thinking about this coming wave of solid state drives.
Thanks, Michael
