My home computer is a 1GHz Dell with 512MB RAM (don't laugh) running WinXP! It's done its bit but is 5 years old and needs replacing.
Unfortunately, all the new Dells are sold with Vista and I am conservative in my habits; XP works and does everything I need, so why change other than to keep Mr Gates in the manner to which he is accustomed?
This PC is a 3.2GHz with 1GB RAM which is more than adequate although the HDD is probably too slow. I think it is a SATA.
I need the Internet, MS Office and that's about it. No games - as I don't have the time.
Any suggestions, please? I haven't been keeping an eye on processors etc, so you might have to explain! Is it worth trying XP Pro or XP Media?
Grateful for advice...
Litotes (but it's well past my bedtime now....)
