Jack:
You've got more than enough. You don't specify if your sound card is a
SoundBlaster or if it's only compatible. If it's only a "compatible," it
might not work. A Linux hardware list will tell.
If I remember correctly, Triton II motherboards only cached 64 meg of
memory, though they are capable of physically holding more. Triton II's are
about three years old now. Newer Pentium Socket 7 MB's don't have that
limit, but Linux with even 32 megs ought to be a rocket.
You've got a good platform to start with. Have fun.
