We are using PCs with windows xp for YOKOGAWA 1000 control system. The manufacturer is trying to force us upgrade the system saying that xp based system is no longer supported. As the control system hardware is good, we Plan to buy pcs/Servers which will run windows XP. Please advice on suitable hardware which can run winXP (these are bought 10 years back and so I presume an entry level system of today should work).
 
Hi @LavuNagesh

Whats the specs of your current hardware?

Just about every piece of hardware released since the days of XP would suit. Do you have an electronic recycling center near you? They always have a nice selection of used, but still more than viable hardware, not to mention cheap. Depending on your location of course &/or stock on hand, but here in my neck of the woods, WA, USA, full systems go for anywhere between $50-$100ea. How many terminals / servers are you looking at? Whats the budget per unit?

More info please.
