This sounds exactly like my current dev workstation, except for the bitness, built in 2009 when Win7 was released...October I think. Anyway, four years later, and loaded with VS6, VS2010, 3 versions of Cyrstal Reports, 2 versions of Office, 3 instances of SQL Server, MySQL, Komodo Edit, etc. it still rocks! Load it up and see what it can do. I think you will be surprised.
This machine has broken my 3 year cycle for hardware replacement. Short term, I hope to double the memory and do a fresh install to 64 bit. It'll also be getting a new case and possibly a CPU cooler/fan to minimize the noise...but mostly, the same hardware in a new box. Good luck with it! Smile | :)
