Default Old habits die hard...
I am a BIG fan of the classic systems. I happen to own a cute little PC with a 233MHz CPU, 64Mb PC-66 RAM, plenty of PCI slots, 4Gb HDD, and an AGP 2x slot. What could I do to it for $100 to keep it's memory alive? It runs Win98 BTW. I need a cruddy GPU, some PC-100 Ram...about 256Mb. Then maybe Windows Me or 2000...or Linux...

I already have a 350watt PSU to add to it. Any other suggestions AT ALL?
