Changes:
Ram must be used in identical pairs. I.E. 2-8Mb, 2-16Mb and so on.  16 or
32 Mb EDO is probably the best for the money right now.  Be sure the ASUS
supports EDO before buying either the motherboard or ram.

Video cards are a matter of compatibility and performance wants.  Do you
want raw dos-based 3D performance or 2D?  Do you want windows-based 3D or
2D performance?
Jaton makes the least expensive 3D cards.  A #9 772 4Mb is a good
all-around, inexpensive 3D-2D windows card (marginal for dos games).
