Good to know.  What format video was this?  (AVI or MPG/etc)?  This board
is on the top of my list now.   I assume that's a Sempron 3200+?  I.E.:

Not sure where you got that link from, but that doesn't appear to exist
anymore on Newegg.

So far, I'm a little over budget, but acceptable I guess, for a Asus
M2NPV-VM, Sempron 3200+, an LG DVD-ROM, and 2x256MB PC3200 ram (that's
fast enough, or do I need to go 4200?) for about $215.  Since I have a
40GB laptop drive laying around, I'll just use that.


Thanks everyone,
Ben
