I recently upgraded to a 7450-4LP.  I like the R5 Fusion stuff.  I can finally 
sustain around 40MB/s writes over the 7410's 20MB/s or so.  I've found that's 
more than fast enough for myself as a single user.  I guess the real test 
would be if I had multiple people hitting my box locally for media content.  
One day, perhaps... ;)
