going to upgrade my old computer

Hello all

I'm going to upgrade my old computer because almost all of the
programs I've looked at lately shown me that I do not have the proper
system.

In my old Supermicro mid Tower I will be installing a new motherboard
(Asus ATX), hard drive (S) SATA WD, video card (ATI) and memory . I
have everything picked out but not ordered.

I plan on reinstalling Windows XP Home. I have Norton Ghost I'm using
for backup. I currently have two IDE hard drives installed using the
second one (D drive) for data backup. I also have a USB IDE hard
drive enclosure if I need it to recover backed up files on the IDE D
drive (if needed) with Norton once I get everything running.

Are there any suggestions you might give as to how I should go about
this. Although I put the original computer together about five or six
years ago I was much younger then (I'm now 74) and with all this new
stuff I feel I can use some basic guidelines. If this is not the
right forum could you point me in the right direction. at

Thank you
