I think I'm going to bite the bullet and build a new machine for win7...
Just trying to get a better feel/understanding where I should expect to see gains.
I running an Opteron 165, slightly over clocked to 2.250GHz -> An rough idea on what this processor would equate to in today's processor line-ups either in the Intel or AMD lineup?
For instance, how would a AMD x4 620 compare?
Video card wise I know I'm in the dark ages. 6600GT - I know I can see drastic improvement with minimal $$$ spent.
Given my computer has the above CPU, video card, and 2GB of memory, any idea how Win7 would run? Similar to XP? Possibly a bit faster?
The computer is mainly used for office apps, photoshop, video content creation... ie little to no gaming.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
