    New Desktop for running SQL Express 2008 R2

    1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.') Ans: I would be using this desktop to run Microsoft SQL Express 2008...

    Assemble a new Desktop

    @ dsmarty and all others on the forum: Do you guys really think that the AMD Athlon II X4 635 is way better than the Core i3 530? I really want stability and safety in terms of hard ware.

    Assemble a new Desktop

    Hi Clius, My budget is 25k. Currently the old working server has an Intel Server Board with a silly Intel Pentium D Dual Core processor with 1 GB and Server 2003 and it all works perfectly!
