   My main desktop is showing its age. Some parts are new but the   
   processor, main board and graphics cards are over 16 years old. I need   
   to upgrade but I have several 2TB hard drives that have seen little use   
   that I do not want to just throw away.   
      
   Historically I have preferred AMD processors and their graphics cards.   
      
   Given those perameters, what combination of bits would you (anyone)   
   suggest that would give me decent performance when say, scrolling   
   browser pages or running a virtual machine on the main (Linux) host?   
      
   Thanks in advance,
