Very odd..  Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I just wanted to make sure PC3200 was fast enough to run a the Sempron
3200+ chip, period.  Which I thought it was. I agree, more CPU would be
better.  As for the laptop drive, I already have an IDE converter, so I'm
set.

However, no one has yet suggested the best video card for my Athlon XP
2500+ box, since the FX5200 isn't cutting it for 1080p content.  Anyone?
