You'd be surprised at these little boxes; you can upgrade the video RAM on them (it's an ATI Rage card - just slap 32mb RAM in it) and then pack in 512mb of RAM, they take a standard EIDE hard drive (and CDROM); so sticking an 80gb in there ain't bad (done it for a customer before) - and the PPC MDK 9.1 - mate, you'd be swinging bigtime! Instead of using the crappy little one-button mouse, just stick a hot little Logitech or MS Intellimouse on there and voila! Nice little workstation... ...that is, IF you can find one at an auction or one that fell off the back of a truck... -- Sat Jul 19 20:55:01 EST 2003 20:55:01 up 5 days, 12:58, 2 users, load average: 0.19, 0.09, 0.02 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ & RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * QOTD: "Everything I am today I owe to people, whom it is now to late to punish."
