OT: Your grades on your new Computer...

A 400-450 mhz PIII
A+ 128 MB ram
B 13.6 GB HD
B- DVD with decoder card and TV out
A 19-inch monitor
B 16 MB Diamond Viper video card
B Turtle beach Montego II sound card
C 100 MB Zip

About the only thing I'd change is a CD-RW instead of the Zip.
Leave the memory at 128mb (or get more)
HD, you might want a bigger HD in the near future. Digital Pics and video eat up a lot.

DVD with Decoder card...
Hmm, Unless your big into the high end 3D games, an ATI with MPEG acceleration, TV out and SW decode is just fine at that speed (better drivers too).

Also when looking at periphreals seriously consider USB. Extremely easy to install, and highly portable to your next computer and make sure you get Zero ISA cards. My Keyboard Mouse, Joystick, modem, printer and Ethernet connection are all USB now. It's really cool, just plug in the USB cord and the OS (Win98 or Win2k) pops up immediately and installs the Software.

The next computer I buy will hopefully have Zero Slots. A perntium 3 brick with USB and 1394 ports only please.

IMac has it absolutely right. Except for the software...

My kids are getting a computer from these copycats for back to school:
