Hello Gil
Get a gfx card!!! It will change everything. I have two A3000 one with a
CV64 and one with a CVPPC. It is well worth it. If you dn't want to pay
full price, try to find it used at Amibench, or Ebay. I think I've seen
gfx cards from $100 USD. It will speed up everything. But it is worth it
alone for what it will do for the internet.
