Which setup would run FL Studio Music Production faster?

Celeron D 335 2.8GHZ
Foxconn 648FX4MR-ES SiS 648FX chipset
512 MB RAM DDR400

or

VIA VT133 chipset board with onboard Samuel2 1Giga Pro Processer 733MHZ
376 MB PC133 RAM
---------------
The Celeron Setup is kinda slow cause of the board, would changing it to a VIA board make it run faster, if so how much faster?
Would maxing out the memory to 2GB make it run my application faster? Thank You

Stay with the Foxconn setup, it's much better than the PCChips VT133. If you want some performance boost you can offload your CPU by getting an inexpensive sound card and at least double up on the memory (RAM).

Even though the Celeron D 335 2.8GHZ is a "value" CPU, it's much faster and would blow away the VIA C3 1Gigapro (Cyrix) setup.

I was thinking of getting a new board to go with the Celeron D. Would a Celeron D VIA setup run faster than a Celeron D SiS setup?

I would have recommended the nForce4 Ultra if you were upgrading to an AMD setup, but with the Celeron D setup, I would recommend you get the most reliable Intel 945G or 945P chipset based motherboard that falls within your budget parameters.

go with the Socket 939 AMD Athlon 64 3200+, Biostar nVidia 6100, with 1gb DDR RAM.

Get all of this for under 300 bucks on newegg.com.

nVidia 6xxx intergrated graphics processor is by far the best IGP to ever be released so far and will do a lot of the things that a typical nice graphics card does.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+
2GB Dual Channel DDR 3200
Nvidia 7800GT
SATA II 2x 200gig 7200rpm 16mb cache RAID-0
Gigabyte Nforce 4 SLI
