Hello, just dusted off my socket 478 stuff from back in the time known as the day, bought a few bits and pieces to get it working, mostly second hand. A P4 2.8Ghz a PSU for a tenner, and bit's and bobs and a new micro ATX case, and installed XP Pro, obviously the x86 version, and a nice Nvidia 7880 AGP version which I had from when it was my main GPU, my jaw hit the floor when I saw how much these go for now. I enjoyed it so much that I am just gathering the bits together to do a similar build with socket 775 stuff, so far I have got another mATX board and a Q9550, I do have an old Asus sckt 775 board and a Q6700 which made up my main machine 10 or so years ago, but main board isn't mATX, and the Q6700 although it's quad core I'm guessing I'll get better performance from the Q9550, plus the main board I have already is DDR2, so I'd like the boost from DDR3, I'm looking for a Nvdia GTX 290 if I can get hold of one to give it a bit of period oomph, although I have a GTX 560Ti to bung in it for now. The only decision is XP X64 or Vista X64, I really liked Vista and used it for a good couple of years, so I am probably going for Vista.
