Hi

Im finally getting a new system
It will be used primarily for high end graphics, web design etc and some
gaming.  Below are the specs I am considering,  I would apreciate any
comments on the combination Im looking at, is there anything you would add
or change? any percieved conflicts?:

*MOBO:  ASUS A7M266 (socketA)
Chip:           AMD 1.333 Gig 266
RAM:            256 meg DDR PC2100
HDD:            Western Digital 20 gig (7200)
Fdd
Video:          64 meg Geforce GTS DDR
Sound:  Creative Live PCI
Modem:  Netcomm external (serial or usb ???)
DVD:            Hitachi 12x
CDR/RW: Ricoh 32/8/8 ide kit
OS:             Win ME

* I am considering a different ASUS MOBO that can run 6 (I think) rather
than 4 drives, but I havent got the specs or price for it yet.
The shop has said that 500 meg of the DDR ram would be total overkill, what
are your thoughts on that?

Thanks in advance
Leigh Jennings
