Go up one level in this thread


get an AMD k6/2 450 or 400. They are cheap, reliable, work well for chess (and a
30% speedup you get from faster much more expensive processors doesn't matter
very much chess-wise)
get 64MB Ram now (ram price going up and down lately), make sure you have a
socket left on your mainboard to install another 64MB later. sd-ram!
if you can, get a DFI-board, they have good custumer support, are reliable and
_cheap_
get a big HD, manufactorer doesn't matter much.
Pinoeer cd rom drivers are very reliable, don't buy a no-name cd rom. Its not
worth the 10$ saving.

Regards,
Georg
