Shorten your responses in the future!

question about dual core.
I have 3  (2.6 ghrtz CPU's)
1 is in use right now ( the one I am talking to you with)
all are socket 478
I have looked all over for socket 478 Mo Bo
EBay is all I can find.
I have bought 3 of them  at differant auctions.
only one worked.

I have been thinking of a new system.
I have been looking at Tiger Direct.
Mo Bo bundles.
I see the CPU's are not that large. But all say dual core.
is a 2.8 dual core larger than my 2.6?
I know 2.8 is larger than 2.6 but not enough for me to upgrade
but the word dual core.
this is new to me

I don't recommend it. PC is just the need to run away from the grit of the world. ....Oh....you mean, like, a personal computer PC. Heh heh heh heh heh heh.

Anyways, I recently tried to fix a computer for someone. Thing just won't turn on. Used a different power supply, board LED comes on with either PS, but nothing. I thought maybe the switch was bad, but the interface for it is special - damn Emachines, figures - so I guess I'm not getting it to work. Had another mobo that was the same deal. Neither smelled like they'd burned anything. ??

If you dont mind spending a few bucks for a decent MAME or Jukebox setup may I suggest:

http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0293825
This is a great mobo/processor combo with Great Video & Sound onboard

You will need http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0289511 this memory.

Also this http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0304816 heatsink.

For a hard drive I would use a SATA http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0289051.

And power supply ( some will dispute this selection ) http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0248568.

Basic yet very functional for what you want it for!

or find you a Dell Optiplex GX-280 or better computer off of craigslist or ebay. You can get one for about $65.00 on craigslist and $100.00 on ebay after shipping!

Ditch the socket 478's, getting harder to find replacement boards - heatsinks - 4x AGP video cards and PC3200 - PC2700 memory that fit them.

XP Professional or XP Professional x64?

Look for 64 drivers for your hardware.  If you can find them, go that route.  If not, stick with vanilla XP pro.
