Thank you LordEden for your comments.
The comments about ram are interesting.
I thought 4gigs would be enough though.
Perhaps for Win7 it should be greater?
Audio & graphics cards I can deal with later.
I should find out what more "modern" motherboards have to offer and what they cost.
I don't play games. I may be wrong but I think soundcards
are only used for input/output - not for audio processing.
I don't know what advantages new memory offers.
Are they better for multitasking?
I don't know how much I want to spend. I just want good value for money and don't think I need the latest and greatest.
I'm thinking slightly older technology gives good value for cost.
I put many computers together in the last 23 years but have no experience with the newer multiprocessing systems.
I think the last machine I put together was 5 years ago and it used older parts to save money. It was a basic machine.
