I bought a motherboard with Cyrix-100 chip on it for $460, and
a Tseng Lab ET4000/W32P PCI video card (1 meg) for $109.  I
expect to be buying the RAM tomorrow.  BFN.  Paul.

P.S. I have two problems with the motherboard at the moment:

1. The CPU is covered by a fan, so I can't see whether I've
really got a Cyrix.

2. The com ports are just little things in the motherboard,
instead of something suitable for plugging my modem cable
into.  I suspect that what I need is a little connector
to go from that to those things you put in the slots.
