Nice throughput.
This baby's gonna rock some kick ass speed.
Installing the new AMD "Barton Core" XP series CPU which you can clock out to 3.2ghz with a 400FSB. 54 Million Transistors on that little critter. Hard to imagine they can fit that many on there.
Also, bought Corsair 3200LL XMS Memory with Platinum heat sinks for it.

That's not accurate. Your CPU is probably a AMD 3200+ which has nothign to do with its actual clock-speed. (actual speed is 2.2ghz)
Also, you have no upgrade path. The next generation of AMDs (which is already out) is the AMD 64 bit cpu, and it will require a different motherboard.
I used to be a big AMD fan, but I dont recommend them for the time being. P4 are simply a better purchase right now.

I do like and recommend the SATA interface. the theoritical speed is 150mb, but like ATA100, it doesnt push anywhere near its limit. But it does provide a nice increase in performance, its simpler to install, and its "futureproof"
