So... much... info... brain... heating... burning... CRASH! ... ... Reboot ... loading BIOS Hadn't thought about a VC. I guess the on board video won't be enough, huh? As for purchasing, I'm using a Canadian site www.ncix.com out of Vancouver as a basis in pricing. Where ever I can, I'll be trolling eBay for used parts, again from Canadian vendors. Cross border shopping is nuts. Customs agents in Canada charge duty, not based on the price, but on what they think it should cost. Free Trade my A$$. I'd rather forego 64 bit or Hyperthreading as no software really takes advantage of it as yet. In a couple of years, I'll sell off the old stuff and upgrade. Great info guys, thxs
