Ok, here's my 10 pence worth... I bought an AST 6050d thinking I could upgrade it from 50Mhz 486 to pentium. I bought it second hand withouth thinking about any possible problems that would arise from upgrading. Well, it was 500 quid down the drain. I had the computer for 1 month and got pissed with the speed. So I called AST about a m/b upgrade - 340ukp for a pentium m/b that would fit the case!!! What a rip off. What I did was to buy a new case and motherboard and also a K5-100 and a a graphics card. It all cost about 230 quid but it was the best money ever spent. If I was you I'd get a new case and m/b. This way you will always be able to upgrade the computer without too much expense. Dan -- Daniel J Thomas
