Hardware upgrade

[Jim Conner]

Well, I have decided to use the AMD cpu at this point.  Quite a bit cheaper 
and as good as a performer(close enough for my taste) as Intel.  The i845g 
chipset isn't offered with AMD boards.  I agree with you on the older VIA 
chipsets that were used in socket7/super socket 7 and up.  I didn't care much 
for them either.  But I've heard that they have gotten better.
