Alright, now that I have spent an evening trying to limp a 7 year old PC through cleaning it up, and getting running right.
Now they (my N-laws) want to know what it would take to bulid a new machine that would keep up with the Jones's for a while.
So I figured the first place to start is going to be the CPU... and build from their.
All they do is surf the net, run Office 2003, and allow a kid to load up stuff hes not suppose to. That being said, I know it dont have to be the latest and greateset quad core I7 CPU.. but I figure I better build it fast enough to handle some random spyware, Google tool bar updater, Bing Tool bar updater/optimizer, MSN updater/Chat Room Searcher, Office tools updater, Adobe auto search Indexer, Yahoo Search Indexing service... And on and On and On and On... you get the picture.
