for what i can tell of these thigs,  you should have about 5-10 watts of
power consumption save, and about 20% of prestation gain.... the great
prestation gain you'll have when you compile, as that is the most killing
process.... th amsn, p2p, kplayer and working eclipse (not compiling one)
are not processor killers.... the db is not a great processor killer, but
having a better processor should surely help.... i think that you should
have thinked of upgrading the disks also and to put a sata-II/raid or a
scsi/raid disk for dbs and the system and to have the other 2 ata disks on
lvm/raid for the other thigs you're doing.... for someone like you the raid
is a must, or you'll risk losing important stuff.... also i'd advice to have
an external disk to backup the very important material just in case.... the
external disk now is very cheap, and i see that your mb has the
sata-i/raid-1 support so you'll only need to buy one sata disk, that is
hasn't a great cost....
