Thanks for all the responses...I really started to like the AMD 3100+ processor..I read that it really shines when you overclock it..I had a 256 Graphic card [pc card] installed...This is really a great computer for games...

But...after a back and forth determination, and advice from experts in the tech field..I was convinced that a Pentium 4 will meet my needs better, so I up graded[twice the money and a couple extra features..like 4 gig ram capacity, larger HD etc]

This is after I loaded all my software in the Compaq/3100+....and now I am installing the software in my HP/Pentium4...
