Specs; Cyrix pr333 198 MB ram Via MVP4 board 8 MB integrated video (trident cyberblade) running 98se Thinking of upgrading either cpu or video Board will take up to K6 550 No agp slot, Any feedback greatly appreciated. Feel free to laugh, I often wonder why Ibought it myself!	Guest (0)

If you have a large music/video/pix collection, this machine could be networked and filled up with most of this, thus freeing up HD space on your better machine, and improving perfomance. It could be the machine that plays .mp3s while your other machine flys through hard grafix work.. the options are endless really!	Guest (0)

That says to me that something is doing its job properly. When I bought it the trade offs were in the on board video and the cpu , so I could get 17' monitor and cdrw. Now I want to improve those and was wondering what would be best to throw the money at. PS: You dont live in a museum do you? Brendan	Guest (0)
