You dont really need AS5 for anything but O/Cing.
Get a cheap(er) Geforce4 MX or something, a Ti4200 is too good to just sit and run IE all day (well come on I have a little geforce3 and its a god to me) and use the saved money on more HDD space.
And considering the age of the current system, youre better off just buying a $15 52X CDROM than sitting with a slow POS.
You could get a 2500 Barton but why? XP2200-1800 should be all that they need.

I dont understand why people put these good parts into a little IE and Outlook system. And dont tell me it's stability, I know and you know it's not.
