> This may be old news: CPQ sells $599 MII-based PC on their website > with 64MB RAM, 4GB, 56K MODEM. Same PC with less RAM and a K6-2/300 > is $150 more! I had my friend who needed a machine get one about a month ago. It's nothing fancy, but is exactly what's needed to get the job done (everything but 3D gaming-- the graphics is the integrated SIS 2D). The parts may be the most inexpensive ones available (bigfoot drive, and I think softmodem), but at least I don't have to worry about recommending Compaq. --Scott
