Thanks for the advice Ralf. I've been building PCs since .... 
hmmmm ..... a long time. (I don't want to enter the navel gazing 
exercise of how long have you...)  I stopped keeping up a couple of 
years ago and have been trying to catch up.  I spoke to the kind 
folks at my local MicroCenter and the motherboard the person 
recommended did not have an IDE interface.  I was surprised.  

I wish I could predict what I will use the computer for.  Predictions 
haven't worked out in the past.  I'm not a gamer, but if something 
caught my interest.....I'm not into sound recording and production, 
but when a series of radio programs hosted by Bob Dylan were 
broadcast, I became very interested...etc. etc.  

Thanks again,

Mark
