Any ideas on what shipping and stuff is going to run me? > If you are interested in speed, I found a 486/66 DX2 in the latest PC Magazine [Page 62]. It comes with 8 Meg of Ram 1 256K secondary Cache, a 200 Meg Hard Disk, Two Floppies One Parrallel and two Serial ports, a 14 Inch SuperVGA Monitor and graphics Accelerator card, a Mouse, DOS 5.0, and Windows 3.1 List Price: $2,995 - I have the feeling that when I purchase my new computer in a month or so, this is the one I will be buying. All that for around 3,000 It's a very Good deal... Considering Gateway2000's 486/50DX2 is 2,695 with the same features minus the 256k Cache... Darren McDaniel
