We brethren you have answered my OS question quite nicely -- Thank you.
The answer seems to be install 98se and then upgrade to XP for <$100.
Now the next question:
My system is has only a bit of life left in it after the incident with the
baseball bat -- so I now start the rebuild process.
My philosophy is that I don;t want to say in a few months "Damn! I wish I
had......" Thus the system has to have as much versatility as
rational. I think that the following is a start:
A Gigabyte GA-K8NXP -SLI mobo -- I don't need all that, but I can add to my
heart's content. -- an ADA processor now and maybe a ADA64 X2 4800 when I
get the courage -- A Seagate now and another later -- and another monitor
later. I would rather watch Judge Judy than play games, but I may change
my mind. Besides my colleagues say that I just have to have two monitors or
I am just not up to date.
Comments???
BUT
The mobo has only
2 PCI slots
2 PCIEx1 slots
2 PCIEx16 slots
It is the lack of PCI slots that worries me: One modem, my current video
card, a SCSI card for my HDDs and CDs. And no extra slot "just in
case." USRobotics doesn't seem to make a PCIE card, so....
Can someone please allay my concerns?
