Message	Well since this ol' DELL x86 model running NT is going byebye, I get to choose what comp I want next. So far they don't have a budget so it seems like a free for all. so what do I want? Let's see.... 1-6Ghz Pentium + class..perhaps Athlon? Nothing less than 500MB RAM Support Firewire, USB, Parallel, & Serial Nothing less than 60 gigs HDD CDROM and CDRW Adapatec SCSI adapter Zip 250 Available PCI & * slots ---what about monitors? I think I'll run 2k. I still however have to use Netware Anything else I should think of? Video card? MUST be able to play wofenstein and support mass media because proggies are coming on! Thanks for the help My adverseries crumble when we rumble, it's a catastrophe Playboy "When will you learn, you can't tie me down baby doll, cuz I get around."
