I made that mistake when I bought my first Pentium system.  I had the 
impression that a friend's 486 DX2/80 on a quality motherboard with 
quality components was almost as fast as my (cheap) Pentium that had a
(cheap) video card in it.  When I bought my second Pent. system, I went 
for better stuff:  Intel Endeavor M/B, Millenium video board, Caviar 
H/D, etc.  Now have a SuperMicro M/B.  

INTOL is right.  Buy quality stuff.  Or, at least, *half-way* decent
stuff.  But *not* absolute, rock-bottom, cheap-as-can-be stuff.  

Just my $0.02 worth too.
