Chris, I think you'll find when all is said and done that the amount of money you have in invested in your 386 would warrant your purchasing another 486-66. Its kind of a curious thing but I've gone through and itemized the costs/benefit for all the components in a system and a new motherboard all things being equal is one of the best investments you can make. The price of RAM and it utilisation is further enhanced by the preformance advantage of a faster motherboard and when you add up the component costs already invested in a 386 its really quite amazing what a good value an up-graded board provides. Just something to think about. Networking is an investment which will probably total close to the purchase of a new motherboard, so I understand the dilemma, and its kinda hard to move forward without a network. Knowing that you used to do some coding, you might check into the IPAS3, its got a lot of powerful features and just might get you interested in doing some programming again. <g> -JE
