The specs you speak of were on my christmas list in 2001; that is, all except the 2gb of memory. I'm not sure you can even find a computer with a 1 gig processor, that is to say, I haven't seen them recently, or they are so inferior that I overlook them. As far as your video card, at the very LEAST, 126 mb is the standard; so I wouldn't put too much concern in that. There are many options in quick hard drives, but to stay cheap, within the IDE guidelines, your standard is a 7200rpm Ultra ATA133. Assuming you won't put your heater next to your computer next year, This could be your machine for the next 3-4 years. Do it right. Hope all goes well. I wouldn’t worry too much.
