I am currently upgrading my systems from win2000 to win8 x64 with the stations using two operating systems. You may find that you have little need for x64 since most software will run very well in x86 32 bit. Nonetheless, I am partial to Supermicro boards which are mainly for Servers but they have come out with workstation models in the last couple of years. If you are going to use legacy hardware you should use a board that handles both old and new. The best compromise is a 2008 boar

An on/off switch for espionage would be appreciated for those of us who dislike the current espionage system. Perhaps an ability to use DL, DA or the new TA espionage would be better; maybe an options menu item?
