>>Wily, I just built a dual processor Abit BP6 with two Celery 400's. $150 for the board, $70 for each CPU<<

Dual processors make a lot of sense to me (more is better). Especially with the super-cheap BP6 and Celerons. I think when Win2000 comes out they will fly off the shelves.

If I go the BP6 route though, it'll definitely be with the overclocked 366's@550. Love that speed.

The overclocked Athlon 500's also seem like quite the deal now. But I really really want a dual board.

>>except all my windows operating systems are upgrades, not new installs. What a pain. Disk copying never seems to work well for me, and I end up having to go back to load DOS 6.0 then Windows 3.1 then Windows 98, then Windows NT, etc.<<

I thought there was a way to get a fresh install from an upgrade CD?? Never tried it since I always buy the original install version... I think jw knows that trick.
