The X800GTO2 that newegg has for $199 after rebate can supposedly be unlocked and overclocked to a 16 pipeline X850XTPE

OS XP Pro from edirectsoftware.com $80, it has a Dell branding but will work as an OEM.
Check out their resellers rating and feed back at edirectsoftware.

I will be putting Office XP Pro OEM on my sister's comp later today, paid $156 shipped.

If your not put off by an ECS mainboard w/AMD 3400 for $230, outpost.com might be worth
a look#4590577. The board in this bundel has AGP and PCIe.

I hope this guy is a good friend. Or at least I hope that he knows how to fix things in case something messes up.
