I'm almost certain it'll run Vista (will test to make sure). It's RAM that's important with Vista, the more, the merrier. TBH, if it's mostly going to be for video encoding etc, there's no real need for Vista, XP will do just as well, if not better.

When you say the good X2s are spoken for, what models are the not so good ones?

Also, what are the sound cards?

There may be a 3800+ left (depends on a previous interested party). If that's gone, there's only a 4000+ San Diego left - it is an extremely good clocker but only single core.

Sound cards are all good. There's a Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer, a Trust SC-5250 and an M-Audio Revolution - all 5.1 cards.

Ah, ok, well the CPU isn't much interest then, as the 3500+ I have is a brilliant clocker but it's held back by the RAM now but the sound cards may pique my interest

Sound cards may pique my interest as well, as I'm still using onboard sound myself though it's pretty good still.

Any external hard drives I can swap for some whiskey?

Do you happen to have any DDR1 RAM Stan?

Fayshun · 24-08-2008, 10:19

Anything better than a 2.8GHz P4 with 2Gb of ram?

Whisky or whiskey waiting

I see what you mean about the overclocking Stan, just been reading an article on toms hardware and they got the Pentium D up to around 4Ghz

so yeah that would be soooooooo much faster than my iBook

So yeah if you can chuck me a system together that would be awesome! Renumeration's I leave to you to decide

If any of the sound cards will beat my somewhat old Soundblaster Live! then I'm game. Otherwise I think I'm out - in fact I'll probably be selling two PCs myself soon.
