Been reading up on RAM etc to see what options I have.
It's looking like it may be more cost effective for me to just go get a whole new box. The broken one is 6 years old and so are all the peripherals in it (fans, pwr supply etc.).
If I got a new box with SATA drive(s) in it, could I just sub my present SATA drive in or would it be easier/better to use it as a slave?
I was running Vista 64 without any problems, and liked it better than my wife's Win 7. I don't really want to go to WIN 7 or 8, but if that's what will be so be it.
If looking at new boxes, what cpu should I be looking at as a minimum? The old computer handled my pics and videos fairly easily and quickly. I'm not sure how much of that was due to its being a quad core processor.
Any suggestions would be helpful. If I have to I'll use my DVD player/burner from the old computer. I definitely will be using the old HD in some fashion as all my pics etc are on it and my old old computer won't interface with SATA as far as I know.
I really appreciate everyone's input so far.
Thanks.
