Looking to replace the motherboard, memory and cpu in a 6.5 year old computer. It has a dedicated video card, a brand new 550W Corsair PSU, a SATA hard drive, an optical drive and a case... all of which will not be replaced. The computer is used for web browsing, MS Office including the ever sluggish Outlook, ACT by Sage (customer management database) and Quickbooks. The computer is connected to 2 19" monitors (not sure if that matters). Computer will run XP 32bit.
Any suggestions for a new CPU, Motherboard and Memory?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tips. I guess my biggest question is always about the need for CPU specs. I'm usually not up on the "latest and greatest" (and more importantly the "decent and acceptable"). You've given me a sufficient start. Now I just have to convince the boss that it's cruel and unusual to make an employee use a 7 year old, dying computer.
