Its a 333hz e-machine box. Just trying to figure out what I can do. Im thinking dual monitor my main. Opinions?

Then ill either turn the 333hz into a DOS box/file server. Any other options?

Well, since you're big on MMOs right now, you could use the 333 box for net/irc stuff while you're playing, without needing to ALT+TAB all the time.
 
good idea, so id have to buy another wireless adapter? The box will be next to my main which is already hooked up via wireless. Could I get a nic card and use a cable? Im I got a C in networking essentials in college, im working off of educated guesses.
 
I have a spare wireless adapter, as well as a DVI->VGA adapter for yer main machine's vid card. I also have a shitload of NICs and CAT-5 cable.
 
Does the 333 box have actual USB ports? If not, it might be easier to slap a NIC in it and yer main PC and set up a software network bridge. The wireless adapter I have is one of those old blue Linksys USB jobbies.
