Hi all, I'm beginning to think about reviving my old Paris system. I burned out and haven't recorded in about 5-7 years, but am wanting to get back into it. When I tried to fire up my old Paris PC it was dead - I'm guessing a dead power-supply. It was a 3card WinME system.
I'm thinking I could just put a new powersupply in all should be good, but I was also wanting to investigate success stories in moving up to XP or even Win7 using MIke Audet's new drivers I'm reading about.
Is there a link to successful builds, including least problem chipsets, mobos, video cards, etc? I don't need tons of horsepower or anything as Paris had more than enough power and tracks for me even running on WinME on a very old machine - so ease and stability of build - just on a more modern PC is really all I'm looking to consider if I try this. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing a more modern PC might let me track at higher bitrates but I haven't really researched any of it very far at this point.
Can anyone kindly point me to links or info I need to read or provide tips? thanks in advance - much appreciated.

thanks Ted. if I may followup with a couple questions:
Am I reading correctly that you're running off of 1 hard drive instead of having a system and audio drive?
Also, is that 6G of the OCZ Ram? Does your system see 6G of RAM? I was thinking XP only saw about 3.5G or so. (or I noticed you have WinXP64 maybe that's the difference from my XP computers). Anyhow, does the 6G make a difference from what you can tell?
The video card looks like it has 1dvi, 1vga, and 1hdmi output. Are you able to run dual monitors from this? (sorry, I've not been keeping up with tech. It says duallink-dvi on the box but I only see one place to plug in my monitors). sorry if this is a dumb question - the tech lingo often flys right past me leaving me wondering the basics - like how many monitors can I plug into this thing? (LOL)
