Be sure to get a tracking number on your packages before you hang up the phone if you are dealing with any mail order vendors, also be sure to write down an order number, and the name of the representative who you dealt with. Don't be afraid to ask questions, be sure to get copies of the company's return policy in writing with your package as well as a full receipt of your transaction. These seem like small things but you would be amazed at the number of vendors that fail to provide you with key information and documentation.
With proper knowledge of what it is you are going after, you can easily save a few hundred dollars by going with a Socket-7 system over a more expensive Pentium II system/upgrade while sacrificing little or no performance at all depending on your budget and your component choices. Again, keep in mind that you have to be prepared for this upgrade, do the research on the products before hand and you should have no problem eliminating the deceptive Low Cost demeanor of a Budget PC with your new high performance upgrade.
