Have a look in the Magazines. Escom are not particularly cheap.

> Intel 100MHz Pentium Processor

Looking at the prices in Micro Mart, the P133 seems to be the current 'sweet 
spot' and has the advantage of clocking at 66 MHz rather than 50 MHz. More 
efficient bus usage.

1.2 GB Are as cheap if you shop around.

> 8mb RAM

A bit in the mean side for Win'95, especially with a web browser. Thrash 
thrash thrash etc.

2MB is more usual now. Try the Matrox Millennium.

Six speeders have dropped drastically in the past few weeks.
