Spec me (my Mum) a new system

lostkat · 19-02-2008, 23:09

My mother has an archaic system which we built for her about 4 years ago. It's now on the verge of grinding to a halt and really needs sorting out.

The most resource intensive things it will ever be used for are the very ocassional Photoshop session and Skype. She spends most of her time on the internet researching ancestors and emailing long lost family members, so it really doesn't need to be a super system. Speccing her top notch stuff is a complete waste - please bear this in mind

I'm just looking for a board/chip/memory/gfx card combo that would be suitable for her.

Thanks in advance for any help.
