performance - Best Visual Studio Hardware Upgrade -

-

i have reasonably modern developer desktop (e6600, asus pn5-e, 2gb ram, 350gb sata2, vista ultimate x32), i'd squeeze more out of it. wondering best bang-for-bucks hardware upgrade be.

if limit budget £150gbp (~$300usd), people give me best performance increase when developing? (note have msdn can go x64 if that's going give me anything.)

i've been reading jeff atwood's ultimate developer rig series , thinking adding 10,000k rpm raptor , booting off best (presumably run projects off other drive, if matters??).

edit 1: sorry, should have said - have dual monitors already, excellent answer one! want machine fast can it.

edit 2: okay, i've accepted answer of getting monitor (and loving comment 3 of them!!). hadn't mentioned originally, best upgrade money. however, have 2 monitors (one 1600x1200, 1 1280x1024), going raptor. have happily upvoted both albert's , antic's answers too! have looked @ perfmom whilst working , disk 1 maxes out most. responses :)

if don't have already, go multiple monitors, you'll never regret it. won't upgrade performance instead of computer's
