I have been following this thread for a good while and have begun gathering together the parts for a computer that I will assemble in the next couple weeks. I have a couple questions I was hoping someone could answer. There are numerous network cards at Buy.com. I though I would buy the Linksys 10/100 card. Is there another card that would be a better choice? I will be connecting two computers with a crossover cable. My OS is Win98. From reading Microsoft's web site it appears that Win98 SE has advantages for networking. Their SE update CD ($20) had a four to six week delivery window. Is there a faster way to get it? I have downloaded all of the updates but don't believe they include the modem sharing, etc. I am running two monitors on the box I have now with ATI Expert 98 PCI cards. It seems the most economical move would be to place one of those cards in the new box and match it with an Expert 98 AGP card, leaving one monitor on the old box. My guess is that cards from the same company will work together. Is anyone using this setup? The motherboard is an Aopen AX6BC. Thanks in advance Bob
