Hey guys, you don't need to use old obsolete mainboards or IDE drives or even old Graphics boards. Our current builds use Asus H61 mainboards (as they have parallel ports on-board), 32gig SSD drives and Nvidia 610 graphics cards, 2gigs ram and a plain Pentium G3020 dual core processor, but even i3 i5 or i7 will also work. Everyting works 100% with that hardware setup, and is blazing fast. You just need to make a few tweaks in the bios and run a patch on the registry to make XPe think that SP3 is installed. That's it.
