Hi Lee, Thanks for your info, but you are a Power-User by the sound of the box specs! :-) I'm trying to determine if Linux - especially Mandrake is "true" to the old idea of not needing a monster box to run. I know of Linux Servers that are running on Steam-powered old things and just don't fall over. The sad thing is that I don't know anyone not at least a p/time geek who has made it all go without enough research and effort for a PhD.
And of course, you mentioned 8.2 - which isn't even "there" for us chickens. Altho I noticed it got a couple of accolades on fixing earlier problems in reviews. > > The 8513 Chipset? > > The "X" Motherboard? > > Onboard sound, video? > > MSI Boards? (Models?) > > Asus Bds?
