Mine is an Athlon64 3700+ (Socket 754) with 1GB RAM, an X800XT PE and Audigy2 ZS. Are there games that actually justify building such a system? I can't think of anything offhand that doesn't work on more powerful PCs in Windows 7/10, to be honest.
What if you are somone like me that never stopped using XP, and are one of the XP DIE Hard Hold outs. I mean It is just because core2 architectonic was so good. 10 years ago I made a X38 chipset supermicro and I upgraded the CPU to whatever is the fasttest quad core like 4 years ago. I put a Nividia 960 GTX in it and I got an X=FI. I don't see any need to upgrade becasue I don't really need to. That supermicro x38 Quad core has been running trouble free for like 10 years and has plenty of power for me.
It sound to me like your question should be why should i build a 2003-2004 Period computer. Not on the merits of XP as a viable OS>
