Thanks for the info Ric, I would like to get the Soyo Dragon+, would be willing to purchase myself if necessary, as my tech guy keeps pushing the ABit KG7. I am not sure whether he will make more money on this or not. I don't know what a Soyo Dragon+ costs, but since with the KG7 you'd have to buy a soundcard and a NIC, the Abit would probably come out higher, pricewise. I don't know how objective I am, since I just put this PC together, and the old box was a 500mhz Celeron Compaq, so I might be too easily impressed right now...but the KG-7 rocks!!! Again, though, the other board overall would probably be the lower priced alternative. Same goes for the ATI Radeon recommended by the list. Do you or others on the list have a URL where I could order directly from Singapore for these items? Cheers, Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The Dragon+ just offers some capabilities the KG7 doesn't. also, as a bonus, you get built in sound, and 10/100 ethernet, as well as IDE RAID, so it actually saves some dollars on not having to buy those components. As to where to get one from Indonesia... Try the soyo website to see if you can find a dealer near you. Or find a dealer in Australia (?). The soyo web site is at: http://www.soyo.com good luck. Your biggest challenge will be finding someone who will ship it into Indonesia for you, at a reasonable price. (and not having customs gouge you too badly on it..). -- Ric Tibbetts Linux registration number: 55684 If you want to help advertise Linux - point your friends to http://counter.li.org/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
