I’ve been looking a bit at hardware recently w/ the slew of Athlon 64 reviews coming out. I’m going to hold out for a bit. As I’m doing all my video editing on my Mac right now (what I really need is a dual-G5), the main reason I’m going to need to upgrade is going to be for Half-Life 2 (and yeah, it’s delayed). Hopefully if/when I decide to upgrade, prices will come down, and more motherboards will be available.
I’ve also been taking a second look at building a terrabyte file server. If I combine that project with an Athlon 64 upgrade, i could save some parts money. Most of the price will be the cost of drives. Seagate is introducing its Barracuda 7200.7 SATA drives, which besides having 100GB platters, will also have SATA native command queuing (scheduled to ship in November)
