I really don't have a budget set...I guess I am just in the planning mode. Uses, is for personal reasons mostly for gaming on old games. USA of course..

See above.

 

Nothing there is no point since there is no support for WinXP anymore

 

See above.

 

Giving advice:

If a user has a reason to ask for it he/she will probably have a use for it. Never shut down someone that wants something.

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

Depends, want old stuff or new stuff. Also, have you considered virtualisation?

64 X2, 2GB DDR2 RAM, 320GB HDD, GT 630

But why would you want to build a XP build, the support for XP has ended.

 

It's for personal reasons, It won't be hooked up to the internet.

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

It will probably be cheaper and easier to find a computer that someone is giving away and use it.

Maybe...but I like the customization of it...Can't really do that with pre-built cases.

then you can do the build that i have about but you will have to find the CPU second hand.

 

An I3 or Pentium G edition wont work? I was planning on going x64 so more ram can be utilized.

Best answer I think I will go that route instead. Thanks. Or dual boot.

Ok, just bare in mind that VMs may not ave the best Graphics systems, so your mileage may vary.
