Just a question about old hardware. Does the cpu power really change something if you want to make a download only rig? Let's say a Compaq Evo D51S SFF with a 2.8 gigs skt 478 and 2 gigs of DDR1-400 with Win7 32bits. A computer I already have and ready to roll but will it bottleneck if I start many downloads at same time and I let it run for whole day or weekend? Should I plug a PCI lan card instead to remove some "pressure" on the cpu data processing?

Thx guys and gals.

2GB of RAM for a Pentium 4 running Windows 7 should be enough.

If it has the Intel 82547EI LAN chip onboard,then you're gold,since it's a gigabit LAN chip.

Meanwhile,a picture of my desktop. I might go for Server 2008 R2 when I can find my pendrive,because IMO it's configured better and would run better on my PC after turning into workstation.

still have some de dusting to do but that configuration will go in the Carbide Spec 01 i have and the AXP rig in my sys spec will be back in the nemesis, also i have to find several GPU for both that rig and the workstation ... lately it has been harder to look for something interesting (price wise) but i know i will find something ... at last end of october will be quite .... full of ol'n news for me :D (budget raising ... slowly but steadily )

i have none ... because i seek the best deal, so the price of one piece can vary a lot, unlike actual hardware.
and i have no gpu in mind, i don't care as long as they are from before 2009

funny even a KT133 mobo from 1999-2000 has a isolated pcb around the soundchip? eh? what about the whole new concept from ASUS ASRock and co ... oh wait ... they stole it :)

Thx guys and gals.

Even a 486 should cope. The main thing that might matter is the onboard LAN and whether it can keep up with you internet connection.

Intel 82547EI should be his target,since it's a gigabit chip.

Wrong. It,s Intel 815 chip with a 10/100 Mbps lan.
Again wrong. 82547EI is the LAN chip from i865/i875 chipsets and it's integrated on the motherboard.

Benchmark Scores bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o
Hmm and you want to change your 290 :D If thats the case i would go with 780
the hell? a downgrade .... you are joking right? i dont want to change my main rig GPU ... we are in "Nostalgic Hardware" thread ... i was not talking about recent gpu ...
(why would i change the 3rd most powerfull gpu for the 4th :D 780<290<Titan<290X<780Ti specially when the price of one nV card is almost the double of one AMD card where i am :D )

i was talking about that kind of gpu IE: 8800GT Ultra 768 edit: good the seller agreed to wait till Monday ... oh well i've found the GPU for the Salvager Mk II

Here in Romania it's exactly reverse: nVidia cards are cheaper than AMD/ATI!

Sure I am!

Here,a ASUS GT210 with 64bit 1GB video card is about $43.20 which is 145RON. And to top that,you also get a 2 year warranty which is damn enough.

An HD5450 with 64bit 2GB of RAM (so a bit better)is about $62.71 which is 210.49RON. Around the same price that 5450 has I could get either a new original Xbox or 2 new PS2 slims. WTH?

Not to mention,a HD6850 here is as much as a second hand PS3 phat,which is 600RON or $178.77.
