I'm looking to make an upgrade to an older Asus V3 series desktop.
Main reasons for upgrading:
- Boot & general use is too slow
- Photoshop work is too slow for editing
It's been difficult to get clear on the specifications from the Asus website. Current known info:
- E8500 processor
- 4Gb DDR2 (3.5Gb in Windows XP 32bit)
- 1Tb SATA drive
I think there are a few options, lower cost and higher cost but I'd welcome advice.
Many thanks.
