Post subject: Please critique this system before I buy. Thanks
Archived from groups: alt>comp>hardware>homebuilt (more info?)

My uses for the system are on the high end:
1- CATIA V5 student version
2- Convert VCR's to DVD
3- Edit and burning football games to DVD.

On the low end I have several apps that run only win 95 16bit as well as the MicroCadam
CAD package that basically runs at an equivalent to DOS level although I have to boot to a
different *.bat than autoexec.bat. I plan on installing Win95 OSR2, Win98SE, Win2K.
Perhaps Linux some day too.
