Hi all, As some will have noticed on previous threads, I have been getting lots of help with setting up xp pro from my daughter. I knew that I would be bribed and now it has happened, she wants her own machine. It is her birthday soon so perhaps I can sort something. I am thinking of perhaps giving her this one and getting something new for me so some questions. What is considered a reasonable spec machine these days, running xp pro? Anyone know of any sites that are easy to navigate where I can get specs and prices? Also, this machine has a creative audagy sound card. I have never managed to use most of the facilities of this as screen readers do not seem to work well when setting up sound font banks e.t.c. Do any of the cards out there come with accessible software? I would prefer separate cards rather than onboard (I cannot afford the bribes to get Charlotte helping with bios upgrades). Can one get a mobo with no onboard stuff but with lots of slots?
