More RAM or RAID 0
I am getting ready to move from 7 premium 32 bit to ultra 64 bit witch would benefit me more. Hard drives will be WD caviar blue 500gb and I already have 4gb or RAM.

And if you go raid 0, if one drive goes you lose everthing on both drives so i'm not a fan of Raid
Alternatively, if you don't mind spending a bit of money, invest in a SSD for the OS and Apps.
Use 1 of the 500GB HDs for all User DATA/Files and the other as a back up drive. (If you do not have a drive or external for backups now)
If you do have a back up drive for images already, same thing only you also have the RAID 0 option for the 2 HDs for USER DATA
This would serve far greater performance improvements over adding more RAM.
not reading very good reviews and commits on the SSD's as far as reliability. Great performance and a bit pricey.
I am very good at backing my personal data up so not worried about failure to much. As far as what the machine is used for mainly photo editing some video and web surfing.
The down side to doing the RAM is I have 32bit XP as a dual boot so it will not help that at all.
CPU intel dual core 2.93GHz 1066 FSB, DDR2 RAM 4gb 1066 FSB,
