Ron.. depends on what applications you will be running and what type of piping you have to your machine. If you are connected (computer to outside world) via copper wire, a 166HZ Pentium is satisfactory with the standard x2 or 56k modem of which 56k will never be utilized anyway (due to the natural limitation of copper wire) but your machine will have newer technology; but, if you are connected straight through to you ISP via fiber-optics then you may need a better fiber optics interface box interfacing your computer internals with the fiber cable to your ISP. Best wishes:)

Ron, sounds like a cool system. Two questions: Why not a 19 inch monitor? Also, if you are getting a writeable CD, why the zip drive? Ditch the zip and upgrade to 19". Free ISP for a year is lame--depending on your location, there are now all kinds of free ISP's you just have to devote a portion of your screen to advertising. With all that groovy hardware, why not go for a DSL line? Our cable company here in Seattle offers it, and our local phone company as well. You must proffer up your first born to get on the waiting list, but hell, its great cocktail chatter. Last, compare benchmark scores. I recently bought a micron 450 with 128 megs RAM for the office and the thing is a dog. Our 360 E-machines seem to run faster and they were 1/3 the price. Anyway, have fun. Don't even think of looking at ads once you buy your computer. It will make you crazy! Cheers!

Ron, it sounds like you want to do more than surf the net.. perhaps add a few periferals. I've worked with Sag, a custom house that puts together some hot machines for very good prices. All their components are top quality. Here's their URL: sagelectronics.com The problem with most of the DELL's, CPQ's, etc.. is that they try to put out a decent but minimum machine. I personally want extra expansion after all the normal devices are installed. Check out the full tower, the .22 dot pitch Hitachi monitor, the sled drives.. etc. Good luck. Jim
