Hi guys,
I have a unique challenge for you guys.I have a modern intel NUC for daily use.That serves all my daily needs except when I need to use Wimdows 7/XP for legacy software or old games or Linux software.I use an ancient Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop with Puppy Linux,Knoppix to do quick Image ,media processing,Scanning etc.And also boot windows 7 for legacy xp software that works well on this machine.
I have a large 24 inch monitor that id like to use for all my computing needs.So the goal is to build a PC CPU/MOBO/Graphics card/Ram that will max out Windows 7 Software/games from 5 years ago.And Run all Knoppix applications like Blender etc well.
The goal is to get max Bang for buck,therefore I am open to buying Used parts.As I understand modern new hardware does not support Windows 7.USB 3 would be nice to have.
Thanks in advance for your help.
