As long as it runs XP and the modern software. If he is running old DOS stuff, like commercial games, it may not work? He says he will only be running modern stuff. Any suggestions for a good motherboard? I used Abit for my own system the Windows 2000 Server. The KT7 board, that is. But I assume there is a newer version of this board?
