I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and get a new computer now...I just need you all the look at the parts I'm getting and make any suggestions or list out any possible conflicts, better options, etc...Haven't been keeping up with hardware til about 1 month ago so might be some conflicts I didn't hear about...Thanks

Duron 750(This is a temp cpu until the Palamino)
Epox 8K7A
2x(Crucial PC2100 256MB)
IBM Deskstar 60GB 60gxp
Plextor CDRW 12x10x32
Pioneer DVD 106s
Mitsumi floppy drive(just the cheapest i could find)
Philips Acoustic Edge Soundcard
Cambridge FPS1800 Speakers
Samsung 755DF Monitor
Netgear FA310TX netcard
Antec SX1030B

I was wondering are Windows ME drivers pretty stable(9x right?)?

Also gonna keep my tnt1 til the radeon2 and gf3u come out to see what they offer and the prices on those puppies(pretty high i'm guessing though... )

that looks good.. that duron will hold you over (overclock to about 900) at least!!.. and the rest of specs look good.. And for the video card.. addand extra 100.. and get a Kyro 2.. those are pretty good cards for the price!! the rest look great good luck..!

what O/S?? i would go 2k... and don't worry there was a new fix on here for the Acoustic Edge sound card..

I would install Win ME, as Win2000 seems to give all kinds of hassles with drivers and compatibly with cd-rw burning software.
