New Hardware Advice

Hello Out There,
It's almost time to rebuild my old dual-800 pentium III system. I was hoping for something that supports hyperthreading and is going to be upgradable later, yet affordable now.
Anybody try the new SOYO Dragon 2 Platinum Board with the Intel 875P (CANTERWOOD) / ICH5R Chipset? I could get that, one gig stick of 800 ddr for now, and whatever the affordable hyperthreading capable chip is that week (I suspect about a 2.6). I have a video card with a Ti500 and 64meg ram already which hopefully can wait for upgrade, and use the RME Hammerfall DIGI9652 card system to interface with my ADAT HD24 Hard Disk Recorder and other recording devices.
I use Vegas primarily for Post Production Audio and often for purely audio (no video) editing and mixing. Will these three upgrades (Board, Memory and CPU) speed audio rendering up appreciably?
