   I remember when I first started doing my first upgrades, actually my very   
   first TWO upgrades to a computer was adding the MathCo and Memory. It was   
   amazing how noticable the speed boost was! That got me started on a UPWARD   
   spiral of wanting to pull as much speed as I could! My next upgrade was the   
   Video Card...  Man.... it was great!
