  Well...Gosh...What is it that you wanna do ??


  Are ya a prognammer or user or both ??

  Do ya like to play games, look at pretty pictures, or just want to see
demo stuff ??

  Are ya into graphics (drawing, rendering, ray-tracing, etc) ??


  There is a BIG world out there !!  Right now you sound like you are the
perverbial "Kid in a candy store"...so you need to decide what kind of
candy you like and go from there.
