at the one grand level, go AMD. You should get a 17" Digital monitor, 256M PC133SDRAM, 30Gig HD, CDRW, DVD, GeForce2 32M Video, and the other accessories.
at the 1500.00 level go Intel. Your should get a 1.3G P4, 128M RDRAM, 40 Gig HD, CDRW, DVD, Geforce2 32M Video and the other stuff...

I agree about checking the memory. Most errors seem to spring from the lack of serial presence detection or running suspect PC133 at 133mhz when it should be slowed to PC100 specs. Memory has been the root of my of our installation problems. If there is two or more pieces make sure they are...
I have seen a few compaqs come into the shop with reboot issues. Most reboot when switching to GUI mode. In three of the cases we just downloaded a new driver for the video. In two cases there was no support for W2K Pro on the driver side. Once we uninstall Norton 5.0 and disabled the BIOS...
