Hello Cal,

What do you want to do with it?
How much are you paying for it?

These are the main questions I would ask.
Post back, and we can help you more.

All the best, Justy.

It is an insurance claim I had it stolen from
my office where I use it to connect over a
phone line to my retail shop where our server
is, I use access 97 for my data base plus
a few other program.
I access these programs using a terminal
session on windows 2000 server.
So basiclly I'm tring to get the best sys that the insurance co will let me, the above
sys is what they are suggesting.
thanks

Most of the specifications look decent. A couple of questions:

-Do you intended to overclock? If so, then you may wish to look for a different motherboard. On the Intel side of things, I have had excellent results with Transcend's TS-ASL3 i815E offering. Check out my review here at SysOpt:

-Do you intend to use your system for gaming? If so, then a better video card choice would be a GeForce-chipset offering. For most desktop users which enjoy moderate gaming, nVidia's GeForce-2 MX offers excellent performance and a great price (~$90). Check out these reviews:
