New graphics card for Friedman (DELL 400SC)
I got a ATI All-In-Wonder 8500DV graphics card for my new DELL 400SC (”Friedman”). The 8500DV was a predecessor to the A-I-W 9x00 series and I got a good (clearance) price for it.

These cards make a huge difference - the original Dell 400SC card was too lame and didn't do much for a 'Longhorn' installation.
