Which reminds me... I have, just sitting around, an HP PC mini-
tower that's a few years old, it's got a Celeron 600, IIRC, and
Windows ME (again, IIRC - it's been awhile since I booted it up).
If anyone needs something like this, I'd let it go fer cheeep,
plus shipping... I kept it in case I ever wanted to try running
a separate PC for VSTi's, but that whole category of software
quickly outgrew the processor capabilities of that computer.
You could probably find a faster Celeron than the one that's
in it & swap out the CPU for not too much dough.

Neil, what is the mother board in this thing? And what is IIRC. Sorry I'm
such an ignoramus.
