Blah my P4 has a 1.2ghz bus right now (ya ya ya its overclocked, but the g5 isn't out yet either) so the arguement over bus speed really isn't the most effective. Besides, if you want a dual system, personally I would opt out for opteron or xeon rather than a stripped down power 4.

Ok my final question here haha. I have to create a bootdisk for Windows98SE. I went to bootdisk.com and they have Windows 98 SE files but there is two. One is Windows 98 SE OEM and the other isWindows 98 SE Custom, No Ramdrive do I want the OEM one? The cd doesn't have any of these labels so I am not sure.

[manunited4eva22]

Microsoft has this nice little OEM rule, you can only bvuy an OS with hardware. I know newegg gives you something that passes this, but if you aren't buying from newegg go for the custom.

If so OEM all the way.
