Thanks for the reply Ian.

The PC will be the general use for my wife and I. I would like to store and
listen to music and run Photoshop, Flash and other photo editing and graphic
applications.

I guess what I'm really asking is for  recommendations as to mother boards,
which you did, and  processors. AMD or P4 ...Do I get the fastest available
or get the best bang for the buck?

Should I get  video and audio capture?  What is this for?

If I get a Digital Video camera and want to edit movies...what should I look
for?

Thanks,
Scot Coveyou
