Thanks chaps -
Yes, as always Richard has the nail on the head - one 512Mb stick with some taken away for the onboard video.
Neither of you have actually steered me in any particular direction. 19" would be great Richard - can't quite justify the spend (Oh hang on - don't have one of those wife things !!!) maybe then.
But seriously I really do want to go TFT - 17" CRT is what I have currently. Still works well, would like to save power and have more desktop space, and I am sure 7 years on, resolution must be better ? My eyesight is fine - still exceeds a Class I so no requirements there !
But would a video card vs. the onboard video make a difference. ? I will be driving TV video through it in the future via a PCI TV card - done this before with this CRT and it was fine.
I reckon my shopping list will just be a new PCI TV card and another stick of DRAM.
Sometimes you chaps are just too smart for me !!!
PS. Richard - How do u get along with the SATA drives you run ? I looked high and low for them last year when I bought this M/B. I had to buy this M/B as an emergency. SATA drives were like rocking horse
. When I mentioned them in the store and 10,000RPM they looked at me rather oddly !!
