Well, what I wound up doing wasn't ideal.

That's a nice board. After a little bit of looking, I found that board with a AMD 64 3000+ for about $260. It'll be a bit before I can scrounge up the cash for the board/cpu, memory (2 sticks as advertised by Mr. P @ $200) , and Gfx card (add another $200). That's $660 at this time, I rounded up for...

NIC onboard processor

When I was browsing for XP tweaks I found an article that mentioned that the onboard processor of the NIC is usually disabled by XP. The processor can be enabled by some simple registry editing. What's the benefit? Is it worth it? Will it cause any other problems or limitations?
