Hey Anthony!  First, I'm sick of all those "idiots" who try and
persuade people on what operating sys to use!  Secondly, I just
purchased a DX2 66 VESA board with 256 K cache, 8 MB RAM, Diamond
Stealth 64 2mb DRAM, W. Digital 730 10ms drive, and a Bus Logic
VESA caching controller.  The performance is absolutely
wonderful!!!  I have a friend with Pentium 60 who says that for
basic Windows/Word/Excel/Access operations, a Pentium isn't much
better!  If you do a lot of graphics and such, you might want to
think about a DX4 or Pentium.  But the main thing that keeps my
DX2 running faster than hell is that caching controller.  Right now
its got 4 MB of cache ram and it flies!!  But if you get a
Pentium, make sure its got a PCI bus, not VESA.  I bought my stuff
from TC Computers (800-723-9501) and they have very good prices!  

Good luck!
Bart
