Cirruslvr, Re: Upgradeability Unless you upgrade in about 6 to 9 months and stay in the same family of products (f.i. Athlon 500 to Athlon 700), I have never seen this dream of upgradeability come true. There is always something changed, and this is so for the last five years. I can remember the introduction of MMX with his dual voltage, ATX form factor, AGP vs. PCI, Sdram vs. EDO, PC100 vs. PC66, now PC133 and later DDR, slot 1 vs. socket 7, slot A vs. socket 7, USB on board, PS/2 Mouse on board, Ultra-ATA,now socket vs. slot A, etc.... You can be sure it will never stop. So I should strongly advise you, buy a PC for today not next year. Bert
