If you don't have it already, upgrade to Vista. Otherwise that 4GB of ram will go to waste.
And I'd consider another audio card. Unless you are doing high end audio processing work (not games), go with a cheaper Audigy SE 7.1. It's cheaper, does everything a game needs it to do and with much more stable drivers then the X-Fi. If you're keen at getting a high end audio card, look into alternatives other then Creative. The hardware Creative makes is pretty good, but they can't employ decent driver software developers at all.
Otherwise, /drool
