I'm looking to purchase a new PC to replace one of my dinosaurs. It's been a while since I've been in the market for a new one, so I thought I'd get some opinions from the folks who know best. I don't really need some top of the line screamin' machine, I play a few games now and then, would like to be able to run my DVD's on it, and piddle around with VB of course. I don't care about the modem - I'll replace that with my NIC for my DSL connection.

I'm posting a link to the machine I'm interested in. I'd like to here your opinions on "bang for the buck" - pro or con. Also, If you've seen a better deal, by all means pass it along.

I'd also appreciate comments on some of my concerns (and my ignorance on some terminoogy)...

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-7ZM Socket A
What the heck is a Gigabyte GA-7ZM?
I think know the dif between a socket A and a slot A, I want the socket A... correct?

Video Card - Aztech TNT 2 AGP 32MB
Does Aztec produce a decent card?

Here's the link...
