I have a home-built system consisting of an ASUS P2-B MB with an
Intel Pentium III 501 MHz processor and 512 MB of RAM. This
computer is running Windows XP Pro. with SP 2 installed. For the
most part is works very well, but it is slow and sometimes goes
catatonic, requiring a re-boot.
I built this computer, using a PC Power and Cooling large tower
case which is still in very good condition. I would like now to
replace the MB, CPU RAM and hard drives with what ever best suits
the needs I have for this computer. It is NOT a gaming computer
at all. I use it for home office work, genealogy and for Internet
browsing, e-mail, etc. It is connected to the Internet by a 24/7
DSL service through SWBell.
My main applications are Adobe Photoshop 5.5 and image scanning,
Family Tree Maker 16 and the whole MS Office Pro group of client
software.
What MB and CPU should I consider and how much/which kind of RAM
would best work in harmony with the new system?
Also, what is the best choice as a replacement for my old
outdated 100 MB ZIP drive? Is there any new ZIP drive that will
read my old disks or will I have to transfer all this information
to what ever new drive and medium I go with?
Thanks for your insights. Gordon
What's your budget?
