Hello All,  I would like to build a pc.  I don't play games but I would 
like it to be fast (processor speed).  I do some photo from digital 
camera. Some programs from MS Word, business applications, writing 
leases, but nothing that requires a lot of space.  Mainly used for 
surfing net and e-mailing. I also like to listen to music. Present pc:  
windows XP Home SP2, 1.73ghz AMD Athlon XP, 128kb primary memory cache, 
256kb secondary memory cache, 81.94 Gb Hard Drive with 64.29 free space, 
Samsung CD-R/RW SW-252F CD-ROM drive, 3.5" format floppy drive (never 
used hardly) Bus Clock 133 mghz, 1024 Mb Installed memory(512, 256, 
256), connected to a HP Officejet 6210 series all-in-one, Bose speaker 
system, Logitech Keyboard and Logitech optical mouse, 17" lcd monitor.  
I would like to get latest technology with upgrade capabilities.  I just 
replaced the hard drive about six months ago. Can I still use it?  Also 
what other items could I re-use? What type of motherboard and 
processor?  Any and all suggestions are welcome. I have liked AMD and 
read a little about 64 bit processors, but not clear on advantages and 
disadvantages.

thanx,
stephen r stanfield
