can do without the scanner, or upgrade to a USB interface scanner.

Gotta special serial or USB interface card? Chuck that piece of crap

motherboard

and get a good motherboard that has those onboard.

Is this cheap?  Well, sometimes, if you've got all of the above and more,

its

cheaper to buy a new system (I got a new-in-box HP Pentium 4, 1.6GHz,

512MB,

40GB, CDRW, 17" monitor, WindowsXP for $1000 a month ago; prices are

still

falling).

Russell,
That's good info for me, I'm wanting to upgrade from my '486', don't laugh !
So do you recommend staying with the Pentium? - some are recommending Athlon
!
I don't know enough about them !!
512MB memory -do you recommend SDRor DDR RAM.
I'm watching the prices, recently the RAM went way down and is now up
again -is the
no-name brands anygood ?
