    I would have bought a 2.6 dual core instead the price is pretty much the same
    but it's alot better and if you're gonna use xp make sure u buy 3 gb of ram no more no less
    I would use a asus motherboard without any doubts since asrock is rly budget and isn't to stable
    from time to time.
    If you're gonna buy a computer you can afford to add another 50-100$ to get something priceworthy and
    that will last alot longer ;)

    ofc asus supports quad


    btw

    just looked at the prices
    and a 3ghz dual core costs as much as a 2.4 quad core
    sure the quad cores is the "future" if you like to beleive so
    but as long as you're gonna use xp, and not gonna use any really high tech 3d programs or such
    the quad is worthless I would totaly go for the the dualcore

    I'm going to be blunt, in most cases by the time the future comes, it'd have been cheaper to have bought the "non future proof" part, and then to sell it and to buy a better than "the future proof part"

    atleast that has been my experience in the last few years.

    as for the board... I don't know. I could tell you than anything with a p65 or p35 chipset would do well but I know little of the chipset used in that board.
