New hardware!

In our cheap (and not-so-cheap) upgrade category, got me an Athlon II X4 + mobo + RAM (300€) and a PCI-E SSD (300€). Which should get me roughly 3x more CPU power, double the memory bandwidth, 5x the IO bandwidth and something like 700x random access performance. Now just have to piece it together and benchmark!

Sure, it's a 120GB OCZ RevoDrive. Doing a little writeup on it for the next post.
