It matters because Windows XP is no longer supported. My setup included a P45 motherboard, Q6600 processor, and DDR2 RAM—sold for whatever value I could get. It’s hard to see why you’d need a full new system just for those parts. If you’re interested in purchasing any of them, buying used is the best option. You might find XP emulators working on modern hardware via virtual machines. The choice depends on your needs.
Ad. support fully informed. Still, 2019 (with POSReady) feels fairly current. Ad. new components – I’m not crazy about constructing a 775 build from fresh parts; I’d go broke. Of course, I’m opting for used items. Ad. VM – as mentioned before, there are some programs I need to operate on bare metal. I’ve already attempted a VM run; I’d really prefer that since I could simply launch it from my laptop and stop there, regrettably it doesn’t work. I won’t go into further details to avoid exposing myself – I hope that makes sense.
Occasionally an old computer works best for running vintage programs and experimenting. Enjoy whatever project you decide to build.
