Upgrade time was yesterday, for both Stormy and I.............got the new board, processor, case and pwr supply....got it all installed and up and running last night..........new ram to come in about 4-5 days, but will run with 256 megs of SD till then
Specs ?.....well the Athlon XP 1800 is a step up from my old K6-II 450.......case and pwr supply provides 350 watts of elec.......512 megs of DDR coming.......still gonna run WIN 98SE......one 40 and one 17, but maybe a 30 gig to be installed if I can do a low level format and be satisfied it has no bad sectors.........32 meg tnt vid will have to suffice for a while, but thats next on the agenda...

Whats a good choice on a vid card that won't have me breaking the bank to improve my display....I use a 19" monitor and would like to stay under $100 Cdn if I can....maybe if the recommendation is high enough, I will spend $150. 8)
