Jim, Re: If you don't want your cpu to be a bottleneck you can always get a MAC<G> Unfortunately, MAC is not my style. In fact, I have bought a PowerMac 266 with 160MB RAM which I gave to a friend who help to do art work design for me. No, it is not impressive to me at all. I don't know why you have the feeling that MAC is faster, it is not to me. >If you want the original Celeron for the kids I suggest you build >the system yourself and get a BX motherboard and PC100 RAM and >overclock it. Otherwise, if you get an off the shelf one you are >going to get a dog. I don't have to. If the market analyst prediction is true, I can buy a complete machine(sans monitor) for 400 - 600 which is equivalent to a P233 at least. If I feel it is not enough, go buy a Celeron-A for 200(may be 250) and I turned it into a even powerful machine. I don't know if DIY can be cheaper in this case. Gary
