capitulated and bought a Compaq Presario Desktop. It was decent value, but the
machine is not real fast. The BIOS is not configurable, the memory runs with
way too many waits (slow), the motherboard graphics (VIA Unichrome) are very
slow (esp. compared with the Intel Extreme Mobo graphics) and suck at running
the X screensaver GL stuff.<BR><BR>I think I'm back to putting my own stuff
