Buy the second fastest, best computer. This is where the really big price drop occurs, and it stays pretty current a long time. Furthermore, buy a 2 processor motherboard but just one processor. I am very happy I did this, because as soon as the DX drivers for w2k come along, I'll be able to double my processor speed for a couple of hundred bucks (practically) and keep my computer current even longer. I discovered all this during puberty too, which wasn't nearly as fun as yours, which also explains why my answer is so much better. bIz
