Re: Buying PC (for Office)
XP does seem to struggle with new component's as I have just upgraded my grandads pc with some new stuff and XP seem's to be struggling with it but will find out after a reload on it.

Upgraded him to:

AMD Phenom ii X4 965BE
4gb 1600mhz DDR3
Asus Crosshair IV mobo

I think for office use the I3 cpu's etc will cost more than a AMD cpu and they will not really perform any beter for what they will use it for, go for a AMD based system as you can get them quite cheap.
