No this isnt a "I want to buy this computer, help me tweak it"

Ok, so I want to tweak the computer I already have,

A-bit AT7 MAX2 (KT400)
Kingmax PC3200 512 MB
Seageate 80 GB SATA
Barton 2500+ at 2.13 (11.5 x 185)
Swiftech MCX462 with a Vantec Tornado
Chieftec case with plenty of cooling
Vantec 420W Power supply
GF3 Ti500 (9800 PRO IS COMING!)

What would you fellow H'ers change if this was your rig??? I'm thinking mobo+512 MB ram?

I would do mobo+Raptor.
 
I think that RAM + Raptor would make the most noticable performance boost. nForce2 IS faster than KT400, but not enough that I would go to the trouble (and expense, really) of changing motherboards for a fairly small delta. More RAM will probably help, and switching to a Raptor for your boot/apps drive would DEFINITELY help.
 
I'm thinking I could get a much higher FSB on the Nforce chipset than the KT400, I'm stuck at around 185, I think I could get 210 out of the ram/mobo. But maybe a raptor would be a good idea...
 
The first thing I would change is the RAM...Not too sure about the mobo since I know squat when it comes to AMD...
