If you are looking to upgrade over the long term, you can start by simply
upgrading your 500 to a 2000.  The 2500 series is simply a 2000 mother-
board with extra cards added.  Then you may add a hard-card of your own
choosing (like the GVP hardcards - fast!), and add the 2620 and AMIX as
they become available.  I have had an opportunity to play on a 2500 for
a few minutes, and its quite the speed demon (at least to me it is.)

Hope this helps you in your quest.
