New here.

First off a bit about myself. Name is Greg, I took Computer engineering technology 1 and 2 in high school. I work on and build PCs as a hobbie. I'm no expert by any means, but I do know some in and outs of computers. I drive a 95 Isuzu Rodeo with a 5 speed manual transmission.

Now for some of my current questions....

I have this motherboard with an AMD K6-2 500afx no ram or any other peripherals. I think the max RAM for this board is 128mb which is a little low to me but again I am thinking desktop not Carpc. Would like to know some recommendations on video cards to use with this board if anyone has some. Plan to add at least 1 USB card.

I plan to buy This monitor once my tax refund returns. It will more than likely be dash mounted. If I mount where my current head unit is it will be too low to be functional due to my shifter.

I have a 40 gig HD that is currently in use by my desktop merely to store music and other smaller files to save room on my 160gig main HD.

So I have a motherboard, HD, OS(assuming this board can handle XP pro), plan to use Roadrunner FE, touch screen in mind. I'm lacking RAM, PSU, video card, sound card, and usb for now. Right now I am just gathering parts and sadly working under a budget of around $400(touch screen will take most of that). I am mainly looking for just music and GPS usage and will route my audio through the AUX in plugs on my main head unit. That is all I can think of for now more questions may come later.
