Tom,
	Gateway's are a super system for the average Joe, that said, stay away
from them. They use proprietary componants and industry standard parts
cannot always be used. I tend to groan everytime I open one up for a
client. If you are committed to mail order I would look and compare
prices of Dell and Micron. All standard parts and a reputaion for
building good machines. I built my own P2 but I would own either of
their 266's in a heartbeat, no question.
	All the best, Mike Davis
