It doesn't matter what OS you run these days, because so much gets put into your profile and Winnt folder. That 2 GB gets filed up fast.

All my PCs have 4-8 GB partitions. That HD prob isn't even 7200 RPM.

ok, I just priced this from www.newegg.com

1. Antec SX835II w 350W power supply: $86.00
2. ASUS A7V8X AMD Socket A motherboard: $119.00
3. AMD Athlon XP 2400 /266 FSB processor: $203.00
4. 2 - Crucial Micron 256 MB 32x64 PC2100 DDR RAM: $77.00
5. Maxtor 60 GB 7200 ROM EIDE HD: $89.00
6. Sound Blaster Audigy gamer: $84.00
7. Pioneer internal Atapi 16X DVD-ROM: $46.00
8. Samsung 1.44 MB floppy: $9.00
9. Windows XP Home SP1, OEM Full version: $93.00

$883.00 so far minus shipping

10. LEADTEK Geforce4 TI4600 128M DVI/TV AGP Video Card Retail Box : $245

total: $1128.00

That would be a sweet PC. worth the extra $128.00
