Hi there

My uncle like to do photo / video editing but he found that his current computer is very slow. See the spec below:

Windows XP SP3 (32bits)
CPU is Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q6600 (8M Cache, 2.40 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
4GB of RAM
Video Card is ATI Radeon HD 4670
Motherboard is Aus P5KPL-CM (conly can support 4GB RAM MAX)

If I want to help him to save money and upgrade his PC to Windows 7 64 bits, which Motherboard would you recommend to accomdate for his quad core CPU and also alloe him to add more than 8GB of RAM ?

Upgrade budget is around $ 500 before tax.

Please kindly advise
