Hi guys,

I posted a similar thread to this a number of months ago but I've lost it and the advice people gave might be out of date. Anyway sorry for the sort-of double post.

CPU: Q9550
RAM: 4GB DDR2 @ 1150 Mhz
Video: Nvidia GTX280 1GB
Motherboard: Asus P5Q
Hard Drive: 320GB WD

I run two monitors both at 1920 x 1200. I want to have my 'main' display on one and my clones split in 4 on the other. I'm essentially not ready to buy an i7 machine for another year or so (maybe the next WoW xpac) so I'd like to upgrade this one so I dont lag in Dalaran/Raids/WG.
My motherboard only has 4 RAM slots so I was going to go with 8GB of RAM which will have to be DDR2.

And I was going to add a 2nd Hard Drive and was looking at SSD's for my 4 wow folder(s).

First of, is 8GB going to be enough, and what are my other options? 4GB sticks seem crazy expensive and very slow. And how much better is having the SSD vs just adding another 7200RPM WD hard drive?

Also I plan to use Vista 64 till I can get my hands on Windows 7.

Is my video card going to cut it? CPU?

Thanks for any advice.
