Pentium II, 333mhz ram, 4.2gig h/d, win 98. i mainly use it for "educational purposes" as well as music, movies, a bit of web design and i dabble in making and editing images. I'm wanting to spend no more than about $400. Any suggestions of things and places to get em from, and whether installation is included would be cool, i can install a modem and a sound card but thats about it for me eh :P Tones Malones	tones_malones (611)

The amount and type of Ram in your current system will also dictate the board choice. You may also like to consider perchasing a second hand case/mother board and perhaps ram, and sell your old one... You may like to look in buy, sell and exchange etc. Nic	nicnz (2273)
91386	2002-10-21 10:02:00	whats your system ? what graphics card, how much ram etc a bigger hardrive would be a must. also ram upgrade depending on how much you have at the mo. next.....graphics card depending on what you have and then find a better processor that will run in your motherboard.	tweak'e (174)
