We have emachine t1400 w/ athlon xp 1600. sn-km133a mobo. have upgraded to 512(480)memory. S3 graphics Pro Savage(on board) although there is a "AGP" slot.I have used all PCI slots for 1.Sound Blaster 5.1 2.single fire wire card(motorola SB4200 internet cable modem)( set up wirelessly(cp-2w ipaq) for kids to use there laptops 3. phone modem. The moniter is a viewsonic A90f 19 inch flat screen w/ 1024x768 75hertz, 32 bits. we just bought a cannon zr45 camcorder(digital) and would like to do some simple transfering of video for editing, the watching Tv sounds cool to so would like to do that also. kids don't play too many games yet. (diablo, right now mostly) also don't have a dvd burner yet, will probably get that soon. I don't want to get a macho board if we really don't need one because system is working fine right now the way it is (I know thats hard to believe with an emachine!!)but when we add the camera should I just upgrade the firewire port(from 1 to 3 ports)or would we be better off adding a card with a firewire port along with increased graphic capabilities on the AGP slot.I'm not one to "tweak" I just want the thing to work when I sit down to do something. I also read that the emachine power supply is very low rated . should I upgrade that as well ? thanks for all the help with this.. perik57
