Memory is $25 for 128 mb ram 256 mb would do you fine. G3 cards can be gotten as low as $120, decent ones for $200. If you're going for a CD burner, I'd hold out for a Mac with an IDE bus, like a beige G3, because then you can get something like the Cendyne deal I saw at Office Max this week: $19.99 for a 48-16-48 CDRW after rebates. 8-0 Cheaper drives, cheaper memory, etc. > -- "Wherever you go, there you are." - B.
