The only thing I'd suggest is the cpu -- make sure it is a Northwood and not a Willamette. The Northwood is supposed to be a much better performer.

get the Intel Pentium 1.8ghz Northwood (they sell it cheaper in some places that the 1.8ghz Willamette), it can be overclocked to 2.4ghz without a problem

Don't make me hurt you. :mad:

Even the AMD 386 that I have is better that Intel's 386.

I have nothing against AMD, i just don't think they are reliable enough, Intel - even if they rip you off you get quality
