From: Salad Dodger on 29 Jul 2010 14:31 What's the processor of choice nowadays? 486/50 or 66? Due to a gift I've received, I'd like summat with a PCI x16 slot, whatever one of those is. And all the RAM I can eat. I've no idea why, other than more is better, obviously. I'm currently sporting: Core 2 Duo E2160 @ 2.4GHz, on GA81865GME mobo wiv 2 Gig of RAM (don't know what type) and an NVidia GeForce 6600 graphics card. It scores 3.8 on that Win7 Experience index. Worth a whole new PC, or a bit of jiggery-pokery inside? New mobo? More RAM I need a new post thing to attach the CPU heatsink/fan to the mobo anyway. One of those push, click and twist jobbies. I presume these are available separately? -- SD

I've just supplied a Core i5 with 4GB ram and an intel HD graphics chipset. One has to admit to a degree of envy, it makes everything happen pretty quickly. -- Hog

They're quite popular, by the sound of it.

You might want to check what the lowest score is and address that. Graphics card? RAM? HDD? > Worth a whole new PC, or a bit of jiggery-pokery inside?
