in addition, a lot of the dell systems right now are coming with 1 year of dellnet included in the price. if you opt to pass on dell as an isp, you can back about $100 out of the quoted price.

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

Easy as pie, 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 guess they think I should pay $200 for a new operating system each time I build a machine. The NERVE.

Anyway, that Abit is the fashionable motherboard these days - and it is nice.
