Yeah my 7 year old Fossil of a PC finaly puked it's last
bits of data a few weeks ago. Actualy I beleive the Bios
just wore out and that's an easily replaceable item.
However it is just NOT worth spending any more money
to keep that archaic Pentium P5 afloat.

Here are the specs of the new system I custom ordered
from Micron and the existing Peripherals I will be using
with it.

Mini ATX Tower Case (300w Power Supply)
2 Front Side USB Ports
4 Rear Side USB Ports
Nvidea MX400 G-Force III AGP w/ 64 Megs DRAM, DVDI,TV-Out
Sound Blaster Live!
Intel Pentium IIII 1.8Ghz (256K L2 Cache)
400Mhz Front Side Bus
256 Megabytes DDR SDRAM (2 DIMM's) Upgradeable to 2.0 Gig
60 Gig 7200 RPM Super ATA-100 Hard Drive
3.5 Floppie (well Duh..)
DVD-ROM 16x48 Speed
CD-RW 24x10x40 Speed
Windows XP (Yuck) <-- I had no choice!
ATA100 Controller
Integrated 10/100 Intel NIC Ethernet

All for one easy (har har har) payment of $1,221.08

And the Peripherals I have at home are:

NEC MultiSync FD-Trinitron 17"
IBM Legal Size 32Bit Flatbed Scanner
Altec Lansing Multimedia ACS-31 Speakers (satelites/sub)
Suncom F-15E Strike Eagle Gold Flight Stick
Lexmark Z-51 1200x1200DPI Printer

I think I am going to upgrade my Microsoft Natural mouse to
the new Microsoft Optical Explorer Mouse and I may evantualy
upgrade to Altec Lansing's THX Certified 5.1 Surround Sound
speaker kit. (the SB Live! card is a Dolby-Digital 5.1 Decoder)

So whatcha think?
