Hello
I am trying to decide on upgrading my system.
I am not a gamer.
I use it daily for video conversion, CorelDraw, Excell, databases. I do alot of multitasking.
I might try overclocking.
I am thinking of buying a used
HP xw6000 dual P4 Xeon 2.4 system with 1gb ram.
Then upgrading to 4gb ram and a better video card.
System cost would be $ 550.00
Or I have priced out this as NEW
GIGABYTE 965P-DS3 Intel Socket 775 ATX Motherboard / Audio / PCI Express / Gigabit LAN / S/PDIF / USB 2.0 / Serial ATA / RAID
Intel Pentium D 925 3.0GHz / 4MB Cache / 800MHz FSB / Dual-Core / Presler / OEM / Socket 775 / Processor
OCZ Platinum Revision-2 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Dual Channel Memory (2 x 1024MB)
Ultra / Fire / Socket 775 / P4 3.8Ghz / Copper Core / CPU Fan
XFX GeForce 7600 GS / 512MB GDDR2 / SLI / PCI Express / Dual DVI / HDTV / Video Card
System Cost $ 650.00
Any suggestions would be apreciated.
Of course Cost is always an issue!
