You really should use either an Asus P2B or Abit BX6/BH6 motherboards, there
the 2 best out there.
Make sure you get some good PC100 SDRAM for the 100 bus speed.
Voodoo2 is fine, but you may want to replace the old Rendition V1000 with
like a Hercules Thriller Rendition V2200 AGP board.
If you use AOL, yea any ISP will give you a better connection, just make
sure that the ISP supports the 56k modem you get, either X2 or Flex. For
example Mindspring supports x2 so you probably would want to get a 3com/US
Robotics V.90/x2 modem for that ISP.
If you can afford it go with a SCSI hard drive and cdrom. If not the Seagate
Medalist Pro is the fastest UDMA drive out there running at 7200rpm.
And a nice full tower to top things off like an Inwin Q500 ATX case.
