What's your XPS720 Setup??

I have a xps 720 red edition that is basically stock except I got 4 gigs of ram. I was just thinking of upgrading a little but I wanted to see what other people did to theirs.

    I have a 710 model but you could start with faster hard drives and better and/or dual graphics cards.

    Yeah I was thinking of get one of those raptor 150 gig drives and having that as my primary and then have the 500 for storage. I was Was thinking before of going dual cards but I had dual cards in my other computer but I didn't see much performance increase. I was just going to hold out on a card till the new ones are realeased.

    If you decide to get Raptors, go with the VelociRaptors. They're a little more expensive but they're double the capacity of the Raptor X and they perform better.

    Velociraptors 150 may be a little easier on the wallet.

     

    They are priced right around the RaptorX

    My 720 H2C began it's life as a XPS 700. It has had the 700/710 mobo upgrade to the 720 about a year ago. It now has the H2C cooler and upgraded memory. I also pulled the old video card and installed 2 nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX's.
