Hello,
Thanks for all the advice, at the moment I am working my way through this web site.
http://forum.pcmech.com/ some good advice,
I had a dual PIII built about 4yrs ago with NT4 workstation, mostly running 3D software/photoshop although photoshop does not take advantage of dual processing.
I tried to setup a Dual boot with 98/NT and XP pro, as XP pro would take advantage of the dual processors and networking to a Mac.
But I could never get xp to boot. . .
I suspect because of the Mother Board/ device conflict.
The motherboard is by todays standards old hat Gigabyte GA-6BDX and maxed out with Dimms Ram. (which I will not be able to use on the new Mother Boards)
As pointed out I could buy a complete system, but as before I like the option of upgrading if and when needed.
I hope I am right in saying that my biggest spend should be Processor/Motherboard/Graphic card.
Then HD ( which I can take out of my excisting PC) /Memory/Power Supply/Fans. Case I can use.
Cheers Robin when I have a list together I will email you.
Thanks again all for the info, at least I now know who to ask.
