Thanks, I already have the mobo, thus the question about the CPU. It doesn't have a CPU. I have enough RAM to put 768 MB on it. I have a 160 GB IDE HD - which for now I'll keep. The CPU in there is a PIII 2.0 Celeron. -- Keith Boykin You are what you think - so always think positively! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
