Thanks Don, 1st I've heard of it. Will keep an eye out for that problem. 
Another good reason to try Neal's pre-configured approach

Be careful with the 8400 as this was one of a number of PCs from Dell 
that experienced the capacitor failure - where the top of the cap pushed up 
and was no longer flat.  apparently they were using a bad batch of caps on 
their motherboards.  I had two of the 8400s and I just recently trashed 
them both as the motherboards failed.  Up to about 1.5 years ago Dell 
was providing replacement motherboards regardless of whether the pc was 
in warranty or not.  They have since discontinued that service.
