My mom has an old Dell from maybe '03? It runs like hell, I can't believe she can bear to use it.
I've been thinking about building her a new one or just buying a more modern one that I could always build upon.
She uses it for work, so mostly browser/email, nothing fancy. The most demanding application is probably Farmville, literally (she's level 96 LOLNERD).
I'm open to anything but here's what I was thinking...
That's all I got for now, I'll update with more criteria later. Mostly just looking for advice on a processor, motherboard, graphics combo. A credible on-board would be awesome.
Thanks in advance,

I'm open to anything but here's what I was thinking...
- Minimum of 500 GB, 7200rpm HDD
- Up to 4G DDR3 RAM. doubt she'll need any more than that.
- Windows 7 Home Premimu 32-bit, easiest to use for her sake.
