I hope this is not too far off topic for this list. I have seen a
number of discussions for hardware issues, so maybe it's ok.
I am considering upgrading from my 486SX33 notebook to a desktop
system. I note in Computer Shopper and elsewhere, that for less than
a thousand US dollars there are available systems that---while not up
to date---would walk circles around mine. I am a bit confused and
intimidated, and not up to date. I would very much appreciate advice
as to good, reliable sources for cheap clones. I am looking at a
Pentium 100MHz basic system. Real basic is ok. But I want 32 MB of
RAM and I want a graphics card to run X. And I don't want to be
spending money to mail it back to the dealer.
I am also considering building my own. I would appreciate advice on
(1) sources of information on the web about how to go about it,
pitfalls, etc.; (2) sources of parts; and (2) advice on
the numerous existing motherboards.
Thank you for any advice.
