system, but it seems to be choking in the games department. This

socket 5 Gigabyte GA-7DXC motherboard Athlon 1100 CPU (boxed

with 32 MB DDR RAM (creative's annihilator pro) Hitachi DVD
(GD-7500) D-Link 10BT network card.  No conflicts, not

size: 64MB AGP Fast write: Enabled AGP Mode: 4X AGP always
