Dear semiconeng: I am still trying to decide what I want to do about memory on the new system I plan to get this year. Some literature says 128 at 100 bus plenty adequate. I was thinking to be sure to get the 133 bus (unless I go with RDRAM) and wondering what the difference is performance and cost between 128 and 256. Also I would want at least the 32mb video maybe even the DDR (64mb). What I want to be SURE my computer will be capable of is video phone and voice commands eventually. I understand the software for that is really improving. As to HD, since I never like to copy anything to disk (keep it all on the HD) and because it is pretty cheap I was planning on at least 40gb of HD. JDN
