Just bought myself a new computer

[clemsontiger]

Plus, its a mini-ATX, so only 2 PCI slots.

The one that is being sent has onboard sound/lan/video. The video I won't use since I have a better card. The only thing right now I'm using my PCI slots for is sound and lan. I've got 5 slots total and use 2.

Also, PC-133 is a very outdated memory standard, everything now is on DDR and you're memory will be a terrible bottleneck in this case.

This computer I'm using has PC-133 SDRAM. Having just 2 slots is not helpful but I will still have more RAM on that computer than I do this one. (512MB compared to 384M

Only 2 USB is not enough these days

That's all I use, one for my keyboard, one for my digital camera. The mouse is a USB mouse, but I have a USB -> PS/2 converter. So if needed, I can use the other one and plug the keyboard in the other PS/2 and open up the USB.

Only 2 IDE/No serial-ATA

I have a friend sending me a card that turns a PCI slot into 2 IDE channels. So although cutting my PCI slots in half, I will be doubling my IDE channels.
