Right, familiarity and the system is expected to be retired from this venture in fairly short order. And yes, another mobo needs to be selected.
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.
In addition to what's already been said, I would STRONGLY suggest to the client that he goes with Win7-64. XP's coming up on 10 years old, and it really has nothing to offer other than familiarity. If the client isn't expecting to retire in the next couple of years, he's gonna have to change to a new O/S sometime, so now's as good a time as any.
Otherwise, Earthdog's on the right track. You don't have to overbuild such a pedestrian computer. I'd go with 4gb of memory, and a solid, but cheaper MB.
