As some of you know, we are a self-supporting Orthodox convent without a lot of $$, but are in serious need of updating our hardware and software. I often see good deals being offered for both on this site, but know that not all software works with all hardware and so I am hesitant. First, here is a list of what we now use:
2004 Big Red Amaya that Rod tells me is in good shape and had some updating done to it before it was sold to us as a demo model.
2002 Dell computer listed on my Properties tab as an ACPI Uniprocessor with Intel Pentium 4 CPU 220GHz
Windows XP, Home Edition, V. 2002
DS Pro+ V.4.02.041
OS V.4.02.041
OK, have you stopped laughing? Our plan is to try to update piecemeal, beginning with the computer.
What would be the most recent computer that we could try to find that would allow us to still use the Big Red and the Microsoft and Melco software that we have?
If we did manage to get such a computer, what then would be the highest level of Windows, DS, and OS that we could later install on it? and what updated machine would it support?
I am not computer literate, but I have access to those who are very much so; feel free to geek away with your answer. Thank you to anyone who can take the time to answer this rather lengthy missive.
