Looking at specs and trying to imagine a working home system seems to throw my pea brain into 'flight of fight' syndrome and it mostly freezes. Probably due to a horribly weak background in comp tech. I don't notice any mention of graphics while paging round those sites and linked sites. Do server platforms generally not have graphics or is it just inserted into a slot somewhere? or what? _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
