Transferring FFXI from one PC to another?

hello,

Not sure where to actually post this, as I know the official Tech Support forum probably won't cover this (as it is most likely "unsupported"), but basically I have a situation:

I have an 8-year old computer with like 4GB of RAM, AthlonXP Dual-Core 2.5Ghz or some such and it runs rather slow. FFXI is pretty much the only thing I use this computer for (I play with a family member, and I have this computer in the gaming room for playing this game exclusively).

I get FPS drops while just walking around in town, it takes forever to load up, etc.

So basically what I want to do, is I want to get a cheap upgrade (new mobo/RAM/CPU) which means I will have to reinstall Win7 (which I can easily do).

Please help.

Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
