For a good local source of systems and components, try:

Don't be put off by their 'garden shed' external appearance or their 
slow counter service.

Your GeForce4 should be pokey enough for most games.

I've just put an AMD Barton 3.2GHz machine together and it works well 
(400MHz fsb). Even with a bottom end nVidia card at £30, it gave 80 fps 
or so with UT2.


If you were to go 64bit, then my preference is for one of the Opterons.

Good luck,
Martin

(Waiting until _after_ Christmas for the next hardware upgrade!)
