You can buy either w/processors for under $300. **Add a 400 watt case ($80) and RAM and you could be running a 1.4 GIG scream-machine for under $450. You'd load your OS and a new HDD (hard disk drive), then reload all your programs, about two days work part-time. Of course I recommend partitioning your drives (old or new) first then load the OS. *The new Pentium 4 motherboards run at a bus speed of 400, the ATXs at up to 266. ________________________________________ **A SYK7ADA ATX Socket A Motherboard w/1.4 GIG Athlon processor, bus speed up to 266, sells for $260. It takes 3GB of DDR RAM. A 4-port Firewire card for the computer is $60. Of course there are other more expensive or cheaper MOBO/processor combinations than what I suggest above, any real, serious upgrade ~starts~ with a new Motherboard/processor. **And while some RAM is "inexpensive" as in $24 for 256MB of SDRAM (PC100/133, 168 pin), some RAM, like 256MB of DDR RAM costs $60.
