System for Multimedia Rendering etc and Games

The programs are After Effects/Vegas. At the moment it takes 10 minutes to render 1 minute and 19 seconds of footage.
I was looking into a 6600 Conroe, 2gb ram and a DFI Diamond M/B
Also would a pair of 36gb raptors on raid 0 be more effective then a HD for O/S and another for storage?

I'm considering looking at other setups, quite interested in what other people who do this kind of thing have for their setups.
I can still use this PC i'm on atm i think.
It's got 1gb ram, ABIT KN8 M/B and an AMD Athlon 2300 (i think)
Only problem is that i don't have an idea how to use a computer as a render farm.

Sounds a bit complicated to me

However in the article above it confirms that the Conroe is better for rendering than the P4 and AM2.

How does this spec look? Or is it worth getting the E6600 for the extra £100?
What are the chances of the prices lowering by beginning of september?

Is it worth 100 quid for an e6600 from an e6400 in my new spec?
