1.2 --Foreword--

Armored Core 3: Silent Line, is the 7th installment in the Armored Core series
from From Software. And as such, the parts that you use to build your walking
machine of death and other icky things have evolved throughout its existence.
However, the parts still are based on previous incarnations (some of them), and
that's why this FAQ is here: to match up the new with the old. This can be 
particularly useful if you had an AC you absolutely loved in Another Age, and
wish to resurrect once you get your hands on Silent Line. So with that out of
the way, I leave you to the meat of the FAQ.

NOTE: The matchings are more based on performance than appearance, and are all
the based on the author's own discretion. If you have any questions or
contributions, refer to section 16.1

Thanks goes out to:

-From Software, obviously, for making one of the best games. EVER.
-Agetec, Inc., for distributing it outside of Japan.
-Sony Computer Entertainment of America, Inc., because they're the big guys.
-JinX and his website www.ac-x.net, which I used as the primary resource for
matching up the parts. It made this FAQ go a lot faster than having to run back
and forth between my PS2 and my computer.
