meh, sounds pretty solid. Decent processor, PSU.

Maybe should have got a sata drive to keep up with that processor but you can add that later. Whats the linux hardware support for that gfx card like?

The case second from the left is the best looking.

Hope you enjoy it. :thumbup:

im sticking with my athlon 64 3400+, but im getting 2x200gb SATA drives in striped RAID, will evetually go up to 3 gig of ram, 650 watt psu, some nice water cooling and one hell of a grafx card.

I havn't tried the Linux support out yet. I will probably install slackware later tonight. I am installing Ubuntu (god save me) on VMWare so I can do some stuff with my JFS formatted external hard disk.

3 gig ram. lol what a waste .. unless you're running debian from a ram disk...

Water cooling? when you could have 650 watts buzzing around?

I've got a pretty average spec machine (athalonXP 2500+, 768mg ram) but if I chucked in a decent GFX card it would be sweet (currently a FX5200...).

Real pain in the ass how bus and ram speeds can't keep up with processors.

Oh jesus, that makes me remember that I could NEVER get the ATI drivers working in Linux, no matter how much I tried. :rolleyes:

That graphics card sucks. :thumbdwn:

As long as nvidia support linux with decent drivers I'll only buy their cards.

Good to see that ATi's linux support is on-par with their windows driver support.

You'll be able to use it without 3d acceleration fine but I wouldn't bother with 3d accelerated games.

They do, as far as I know.

One downside to buying Nvidia cards is that they tend to be a bit more expensive than their ATI counterparts, but that doesn't turn me away, as I'd rather run Linux with 3D Acceleration than trying to forever. :rolleyes:
