Greetings all,
Here's the situation, I want to upgrade to XP (from 98SE). I'm happy with
my current hardware setup, : 1.3 Duron, 256 MB RAM, etc, just the basics. I
don't do heavy computing, just web, e-mail, and the occasional game. My
video card is currently a Diamond Monster Fusion 16 MB AGP(hey, it was top
of the line when I bought it in '98). Since there is no support for Diamond
anymore to get XP drivers, what video card would be worthwhile?
Or, my other thought was to just go to Dell, and get a new system
altogether, which would include XP, and onboard graphics.
I have always built my own systems, but looking at Dell's website, a
complete system for around $500 makes me want to take the plunge, and sell
what I have now.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
thanks,
john
