Just an fyi, make sure any new computer you buy if buying intel processors, is gen 6 or older processor (good luck finding one). Gen 7 and beyond processors do not support Win7. Yes, there are hacks to run older operating systems on them, but out of the box it isn't supported. I can't speak to AMD processors.
Which is funny because their processor base architecture hasn't changed in 5? 7? years. So it should all be compatible, well except all the security breaches this has enabled. Goodjob intel!
