With the prices of computers falling, you could get a kick ass setup for
$1000.  Shop around.  Try egghead, xoom, where ever you can get the best
deal.

As far as 3dfx, I don't know why you wouldn't want one.  It's just that so
many people have been dissing voodoo2 and v3 and how it's not based on some
kind of new 3d core (don't know much about it), that I didn't want to tell
you to strictly buy a voodoo card.  (I think the riva's are non-3dfx).
Personally, I've just got a regular old v2 backed by a 233mhz pII, and I
can't complain.

About the cd player, I think that the faster they are, the longer it takes
them to speed the cd up to read it, so in stop and start circumstances, a
12x can accually be faster!
