Wow. You just described half of the computer I bought 2 weeks ago. I have the same motherboard and processor. I opted for 12GB RAM, and I would definitely recommend it. It's relatively cheap and makes a huge difference in overall performance. My video card is an EVGA GTX 275 1792MB,it's the best money I've ever spent. Harddrive size obviously doesn't matter too much. Same with power supply and case. I did add two small extra fans to cool the vid card. I'm attaching some renderings, none of which took more than maybe 30 minutes at 'Best Quality' in Revit 2009. Just for reference.

Could i save a Revit Architecture 2010-(32bit) file in a 32bit operating system and open it on a 64bit operating system with Revit Architecture 2010-(64bit)?

I haven't used 2010 64bit yet. I'm still in 2009. My tentative answer would be yes, but I would avoid putting Revit 2010 on a 32bit computer. Seems like it wouldn't be worth the license cost. Obviously, that new dream machine would be running 64bit. And I'm definitely excited to play with 64bit 2010 in the near future.

Edrikzs, How did the system you put together work out for you? I'm looking at building a similar system later this year using the Asus P6T6 WS Revolution instead of what you listed. Is it extremely fast when rendering complex models in revit?

I'm not an expert, but when my office upgraded our computers, we've found our video cards to easilly be the bottleneck in rendering. With 12 gigs of available ram, we're only using two and a half, CPU usage at 50%, tops. dual quad core Xenons, 12 gigs ram, 1 gig NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800... yeah. I'd definitely reccomend putting two higher-end cards together with SLI and you'll reap the most benefit. Doesn't really pay to go overboard on processing like us.
