Cool, thanks. I appreciate the help. I'll be using a 200gb external hard drive as well. That'll help with the speed, yes?

Go for the Gateway AMD64 machines. They are the same as the emachines m68xx AMD64 series of laptops. And are proven workjorses and they have no compatabilty issues at all.

I use an M6805 myself.
