*bangs on his head* - of course... This thing is becoming harder than I thought. Buy new mobo+cpu+ram, ok. mobo+cpu+ram+sound card, less than ok but doable. Mobo+cpu+ram+soundcard+videocard... The videocard looks like a bad problem. Newer ATIs are, AFAIK, not well supported by open source drivers. nVidia 3d open source support is currently none. I don't like proprietary drivers, not that much because of ideological reasons but because I found they're extremly annoying to maintain (kernel or xorg updates easily break them). The onboard Intels were a good lifesaver. I'm considering an Intel Core Duo... what's wrong with them that AMD does right? :) >> And what about the cpu cooling fan? > > buy a 'boxed' cpu. The coolers are good enough. Are they silent too? I really need silent things. m. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
