Hello again all, thank you for your replies, it's very helpful!
However, it turns out that the request for me was stated incorrectly, they wanted a dual core system, and instead requested a "dual cpu" system. D'oh!
Anyway, the floodgates' open now, I would rather actually go with a core i5 or i7, but of course one thing is still the same, I need to have SL 5x on it.
I've previously had the Asus P5Q and had to install the NIC driver manually, which is a pain in the butt to say the least.
Is there a hardware compatibility list for SL 5.4 out there somewhere? Any more suggestions on hardware?
Thanks again! -Chris Tooley
