Processors are as follows:
Intel G620 2X2.60 (2 coeur, 2 thread) 258.99 266,76
Intel G840 2X2.80 (2 coeur, 2 thread) 269.99 278,09
Intel G850 2X2.90 (2 coeur, 2 thread) 279.99 288,39
Intel i3 2100 4X3.10 (2 coeur, 4 thread) 308.99 318,26
Intel i3 2120 4X3.30 (2 coeur, 4 thread) 318.99 328,56
Intel i5 2300 4X2.80 (4 coeur, 4 thread) 360.99 371,82
Intel i5 2400 4X3.10 (4 coeur, 4 thread) 372.99 384,18
Intel i5 2500 4X3.30 (4 coeur, 4 thread) 387.99 399,63

Intel i7 2600K 8X3.30 (4 coeur, 8 thread) 506.99 522,20


Intel i7 2600 8X3.40 (4 coeur, 8 thread) 476.99 491,30 is the one I would choose. I live on the government pensions and this is the best I could find for the money $ 477. plus tax.
Also will Windows 7 32 bit work on a 64 bit machine or do I have to buy a new windows 7.

Opinions welcome.
Thanks

Stu, I would recommend buying a refurbished ASUS, I buy a lot of them for clients and haven't had a single issue with one. 2GB of RAM in nowhere near enough these days, you want a minimum of 4GB, here are some that I would recommend:
