Hi Rich,

	I think you should probably upgrade both items.  Without a VLB 
video card, a DX4-100 would still have crappy frame rates (since you have 
an ISA vid card).  And without a fast processor, a good video card 
couldn't receive video data fast enough to give good frame rates.

	You can always wait for a 3D accelerated video card to come out, 
but then again you would also have to wait for games to be recompiled to 
take advantage of the 3D acceleration hardware.

	I think you can do things in stages...  Maybe the processor 
upgrade for now and the vid card later?

Regards and clear skies,
