It seems as though there are always a couple hangups when building a system. Video cards and RAM. Worst case-scenario is pricewatch on some RAM & just do the best you can........(though a week after you pay $40 for a stick of PC2100 256mb you'll find it for $9.99 AR in the paper).
As for video cards, it's like feast or famine. One day a cheap 32mb or 64mb 2X/4X AGP card is $9.99 or $19.99 AR, then the next you can't find anything for 3 weeks under $30 or $40! Any suggestions on consistent video card source?? TIA
