Hi whtbearfan, I hope you don't mind if I answer your as well ;o) I've just finished building my second dualie, and although it is not my ultimate dream system, it is no slouch: ----------------------------------------- 1 x Antec SX1040 Case 1 x Plextor PlexWriter 40r40w12rw 1 x Toshiba 16xDVD 48xCD 1 x VideoLogic SonicFury 2 X IBM Deskstar 120GXP 41.2GB 2 x AMD Athlon MP 2000+ 1.67Ghz 2 X Crucial 512MB PC2100 RAM (1Gig Total) 1 X ASUS A7M266-D 1 X MSI GeForce4 Ti4600 128MB DDR ------------------------------------------ I must just add one thing that I feel is very important on dual Athlon rigs, and that is ventilation. I would always recommend a large case, and plenty of exhaust fans so airflow is at it's best (on this system I have 4 80mm case fans). One thing I would change would be the hard drives, as IBM "Deathstar's" are prone to failing, although the speed of them is very impressive. Even for non "dual friendly" applications, there is an advantage; you can heavily multitask and hardly see any system slowdown. Cheers
