Itza, You do not tell us what the old computer is, so we have no starting point for comparison. But, I will tell you what I am using and a couple of rules to watch out for and use when you build a new computer. First, I have a P4, 3.4 ghz processor, duo core. I am using a agp vid card, with 256mb of ram on it: it is very fast and smooth. I have 2 gb of ram. And SATA hard drives, 2 of them, and 3 IDE drives with a dvd burner for the full house. Each h'drve is a 200gb, so I have a terrabyte of storage onboard. I do not store any data on the main drive(boot drive) so if I lose operating system, I lose no data. I use xp pro, because Vista is a cranky os, and if you do not disable a few things, it reports back to Microsh*t any illegal or questionable things on your computer, like music or movies, etc.

Now for a few simple rules when building:

1. Always install as much ram as you can afford. This allows more work to be done without robbing processor time.

2. Always use a vid card, not motherboard video. Mobo vid takes processor and memory away from work. This can slow performance by as much as 25%.

3. After you figure the power load for all the parts in computer, buy a power supply with AT LEAST 15% more power available than you have being drawn.

4. When selecting mobo, get the board with the most usb ports possible. No explanation here, but you will thank me for this later.

5. Go ahead and spring for a dvd burner. They are cheap now, even when you buy quality, and this allows for LARGE file backups. But, only use ONE optical drive. The power draw of a second burner or player is not worth the convenience.

6. After you have setup computer and like the operation, BEFORE file transfers, use an external usb drive and make a full backup of the drive image. This way, if anything happens, you can easily restore the full disk.

7. I do not buy or use any name brand, pre built computers. The comp companies are in the business of selling computers, not upgrades, so many of them do not support ANY upgrades, even ram. (hp and dell are a couple that quickly come to mind)

8. If you wish, I can send the name of a VERY reputable company which sells anything from basic kits(barebones) to full, finished servers. And ANYTHING in between. And they stand behind their products, so much that most items have an extended warranty, beyond the manufacturers, of a couple of years. If you want this, let me know and I will send it to ya.

Hope this helps, at least a little.
