Yes, that is the correct memory. If you want to maximize the RAM, then you will need to buy 2 of them. The problem is that there is almost no demand for the 32MB DIMMs, so you can try and sell the old 32MB DIMMs but do not count on it. > > As >> for HD, watch carefully for a deal on a 20Gig 7200RPM drive with a >> 2MB cache, and buy it.

If the drive is listed as 'Retail Box' then it will come with a cable, screws, and mounting hardware to install the drive in a 5 1/4" bay. If it is 'OEM' or 'Bare Drive' then it is just the drive with nothing else. -- Mr. PopMan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Does anybody want to play a game of pinball?"
