G'day again,
Finally specced a system. As mentioned in a separate thread, the HD now has several bad clusters and a decision had to be made. I went back to the same techie that built my old system. He's a Frenchman, very garrulous, opinionated and rude. However he seems to know his stuff.
I think it will be a vast improvement over the old system
AMD 64 3200+ 939 socket
MSI Neo 4-F This board seems to have the lot.
