can I ask for some advice with my pc, it has been some time since I last built a pc and as such Im a little out of touch regarding hardware.
I currently have a pentium 4 3.0 ghz with 4gb ram running xp withba dual screen setup. I am a coder and run many programs at the same time; jumping between outlook, visual studio, sql studio, expression and several data (and resource hungy) apps.
My problem is that i run out of resources all too often.
Im considering upgrading to a 64bit cpu with new board and 6-8gig ram. will xp (or vista) 64 cause problems?
What other options do I have? What hardware should I look at? I have no idea about budget, but dont mind spending 4 figures on an upgrade that will save me time.
