How much do you want to spend?

You could buy a Gigabyte Brix for around £150 bucks and tuck it in behind your monitor. You don't need the i5 or i7 models if you're not doing anything big on the computer.

This thread has gone to pot.

Yes funny that, happens so often, usually the threads tell OP to get an SSD or Linux, then they have a good spat and OP gets scared off by over technical or irrelevant comments.

So the people I deal with have linux systems with say 360 gigabytes of RAM and terabytes of solid state storage. That's way beyond what the typical Windows user has and more than Windows Home versions support so Windows must be efficient compared to Linux, is your claim?

Sorry, you'll have to explain how that conclusion can be drawn from what I said.

It can't be. It was a reply to AndyPix, who asserted that the ability to exploit lots of resources is the same as requiring lots of resources.
