Really need computer help

OK, I understand POS. I generally throw that stuff out. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon25.gif[/img]

What would be minimum requirements for a "decent PC" AND what is a "nic"? [network interface card] I'm confused when it comes to abbreviations, please humor me.

NIC = Network card

I would say 500MHz with 128megs of ram and an low use hard drive.

But you could make due with any pentium class processor and 64megs of ram. Old hard drives die, so using one in a 24/7/365 system is asking to rebuild it. And a 20 gig is like $35 these days.

I have an old PII 333 with 384meg of RAM. Would that work?

Yep
