Thanks for the advice Joe thats exactly what I'm doing...Dell told me they
would not have a motherbroard in stock for that system until 2007...Can you
believe that...So you'll probably see me on this broard asking questions
from time to time...Building a new system with old Dell parts will be more
satisfying then shelling out more $$$ to them...Thx...Jim Bernhardt
