[newbie] Building a PC (3).
Ok, I am getting closer to my goal, but still have a few questions: 1) For those on the list using the Soyo Dragon+. I see that there is a sound card built into the motherboard (C-Media 6 Channel Sound Card). Any problems with Mandrake recognition of the card or performance problems with Mandrake? Should I disable the C-Media card and go for the Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Platinum? 2) My tech guy can't seem to get an ATI Radeon AIW 32mg nearby. The other possibilities are a PixelView GeForce3 T200 64MB or one of the new (new here anyway) Radeon 8500 cards. Any advice or comments? My obvious concern is getting everything in the box to work with the Mandrake install and not to have to niggle too much with post install configuration to get the box up and running.
