I am picking out a combination of parts for a friend of mine. Since I have
always used Intel stuff in the past, I would ask that anyone who sees any
potential problems with the following hardware list to please let me know.
Would a 400W AMD certified pwr supply be advised here ?
Thanks !
There were some comments about Tyan boards a little while back either
here or on newbie. You may like to check the archives for those. Seem
to remember some problems, but at the same time the board was highly
rated for performance. That would have been pre-8.2 though, so any
config issues may
Well, being a hardware enthusiast, I would recommend atleast a 400W

No.. there are no problems with the PCI card... Don't get me wrong, I
really like my on board SB128 on my server, I just figured for the
money.
If you're gonna be doing programming then you definetly want the 512MB
of memory though. Perhaps even more considering its

Soyo doesn't make a dually board though, which kinda eliminates it from
this race :(
