So then it's between the Matrox and the G400-32MB.  Thanks.

Arrrgh, sorry for the question: this MAxtroc Millennium is the
same as the G400 that Robert mentioned.

  Anybody got suggestions on what kind of hard drive to buy for my

 Any with 5 years of warranty available near your place.
 
 I do not bother to buy any other drives anymore.
 



I will buy at least one Fujitsu SCSI's for my DNS server and foor
the duplicate computer that I'm building as it's backup.  These
are HP-Kayaks and will probably outlive me!  I was asking also 
about my Dell, which is ordinarily very fast; an outstanding
computer and I want to stick with it.  

Sometimes it gets into a mode where it is super slow.  Do you,
or anybody else have a clue why??

Also:: would a simple Matrox Millennium serve as a new video
board?  I do not need/want anything gamer-fancy, so am looking
for something simple, like a MM  with 8 or 16megs of video
memory.
