Question 1: Probably internet, word processing but she is hinting at a digital camera, and she does download a crap load of music files onto our system. Note: a good CD burner a must.

Second Q: I'd love to say $500.00, but I'm sure by the time we're done, at least $1200.00 to 1500.00.

One computer guru source told me the Athlon P3 wasn't as great as it sounds, sort of like a Pentium on crutches, didn't have time to ask him what that meant exactly? Thats why I hate to buy anything on one source, sort of like reading Windows magazine and saying, yea, thats the best out there!

But, I'm kinda looking at the Celeron, with an Asus or Abit motherboard. Most people that I've talked to that have one, are happy. So far!

We have an Abit on our 450, the only problems we had, was trying to get it running smooth under windows 95 with our cable internet connection, found it easier to go out and buy 98.
