if you're planning to play some decent games on it (including cz), swap out the the Celeron processor for a real Intel processor, then you need to get a larger monitor... the 17" CRT (15" viewable) simply will not do (especially at 60hZ... unless you want to develop seizures due to the constant flickering)... find yourself a better monitor. While you're at it, you might as well toss out the motherboard and just go with one that has at least a 800mhz frontside bus and support for PCI-express Graphics. The integrated POS that is included won't be even be able to play q-bert with any decent frame rates. Once you get a good PCI-E mobo, you then need a new graphics card... i recommend at least a x1800 or above or nvidia's 6 or 7 series. Oh, and the memory is too small... you need 1gb at least... then you'll be moving along... oh except if you get a new mobo anyways, just go ahead and get an AMD 64 processor. And WTF... a 56K modem????!!! Unless you plan to play next door to dirty, that's just funny that they even bothered to put it in. ... So the only things worth keeping are the 100GB harddrive and... umm... maybe the cd-rw. Good luck!

Other than that I couldn't tell ya. I run off of integrated graphics and I want to throw my cpu out the window some nights. Even worse, I have a Pent4 but with PCI slots, not PCI express either.
