Have you decided on Win98? 128 MB of RAM goes farther in Win98 than it does in NT. (Dirk likes his multimonitor setup in NT) Zeus, can you explain this to me? It was my understanding that since NT uses memory differently (setting aside specific memory addresses for each process) and not having the memory leaks that 95/98 has, that all things being equal, 128mb RAM would go much further in NT. I can attest that it does for me, as I run both (NT and 98) on the same machine. Any help is appreciated. Len

Personally, as prices drop radically, I'd opt for the single 14 gig drive and then add another. You won't spend that much over the 8.4, but you will add another increment to your machine's capacity. I must admit that I max out everything I buy in hard disk space, so this conditions my thinking. BUT I've learned that no matter what you THOUGHT you wanted, what you need is always bigger ... AND with EIDE I keep coming up against that hard 4-drive limit (or is that the 4 hard-drive limit ... anyhow , something like that). Spots
