One step at a time.  The spec sheet shows it has a vga connector, so I'll
get the monitor first.  Then, probly ugrade whole m/b or box, if I can find
one free/cheap.  Like my slack box, I'm old and outdated!  Besides, I can't
see fer dammit and 23" at any res will be a step up.  ;)

Thanks for all the replies and info, gang.  AOLS is still the best.
