It probably no longer handles the latest components. I would like to use it as a multimedia PC when not using my laptop, but I think I've neglected it for too long. Any advice would be really helpful.
Yep, afraid so. There are no Socket939 CPUs available any more. I'd say give it away to someone who can use it and start from scratch.
For "multimedia", I'd go something along the lines of a Core i5 processor - a 2400 or 2500 - but if you can wait a couple of months, we should see new Ivy Bridge-class components from Intel with greater performance and lower power drain.
Cheers, Darren.
Thanks for that Darren. I might wait a couple months!
