Sounds like it will work fine I belive by UDMA it means Ultra-DMA on the IDE controller.... thats fine...if linux doesn't suport it then it just wont use it (btw I believe the drive has to also support it) then again....Linux probably does suport it...it might be handeled completely in hardware (I dunno....I am not really sure what Ultra-DMA is just that it will work) I use a Generic S3 ViRGE it works great I love running Xwindows in 1024x768 32 bit color the whole setup sounds nice (btw I also use a K6 processor but only a 200 ) what RAM you thinking? I would suggest at LEAST 32 MB..... I have found 16 works but...32 Helps ALOT (I should be at 128MB within a week ::fingers crossed:: ) btw you CAN run off 8 MB but....only recommended for masochists (yes I know linux handles its memory in a very efficeant manner compared to many OSs... and on a 486..and just in text mode...8-16 MB works fine,....but ....if you wanna
even think of running somethin like netscape....maybe im just spoiled) -Steve Ender Wigin wrote: > Hi, > > I am looking at a new computer for my parrents to get me for college...
