I am thinking of upgrading my personal computer, I?m currently running on a Pentium 2 400 Mhz. What is the fastest processor that I can upgrade that too? Also I am involved in a lot of Auto CAD design, and I was wondering the possibility of connecting two monitors to my system, how would I go about that and what type of card would I need??

Processor upgrade depends on your board. I would sugeest getting a new board and an AMD athlon chip, it's all cheap enough.

As for the monitors, you can add a second graphics card into a PCI slot and run two monitors (provided you use Windows 98/ME/2000). Alternatively some vendors sell "DualHead" cards (a single card that drives 2 monitors) I use a Matrox G450 in work for Web Development on two 18" LCD's and it is very nice.

Hope this helps
