Thanks guys - I will be busy for a while.

I have a Seagate Extra Value CD - support for disks.

I also picked up a DVD (the drive works fine as a data disk) that has several free 'DVD players' on it.

I am planning to get a cheapish - not the latest - video card (will see about rtying for DX level 8 native support) when I get a ROUND TUIT.
