Hey what a coincidence Bob... i just upgraded myself this weekend.
We have similar choices too.
And like you, i was looking to the future with this choice of hardware.
With some guidance from a knowledgable buddy of mine (and by that i mean more so than i), I went with this stuff:
Gigabyte GA7 VAXP Mainboard (400mhz frontside bus)
512MB PC2700 DDR ram (333 mhz)
GeForce 4 Ti4200 128mb VTP
And i put my brother's AMD 1700+ into this too. I wanted a 2200+ like yours... but maybe a bit later on ($$$!!! [stuned] ). It was cheaper right now to just go with his chip, after he upgraded his own comp.
Cool!

He, he, I went the other way... but this week-end, I kept my mobo K7PRO , processor 550Mhz Athlon, old sdram, and GeForce DDRDVI, but switched my Quantum Fireball KA (512k cache ;( ) to two Western Digital 400JB (8 Mega cache ) on a separate controller (to use the full speed of the cache, instead of the 66 of my inboard controller. Very fast, and much more silent, too!
I bought also a Intuos2
Ah, about the original problem, I found this thread :

Yeah, yeah rub it in Pierre 
Me too...I would like to upgrade. I asked Santaclaus a comp with a double Xeon of 2.8GHz each (going at hyperthreading), 2GHz Rambus, ATI Radeon 9700Pro video card, two HDD's and a 17inch flatscreen monitor.
It'll be probably the usual stuff: nothing.
I don't have a chimney...
But I keep trying.

Pierre, I meant the Intuos 2...if you get bored with it, sell it to me for 1/2 the price...seems reasonable or not? [innocent]
