All this will prolly work right out of the box with RH 8. But, see if the 40G hdd you're getting is worth it. I've had many friends having their 40G IDE Seagates crashing in teh last year. Try to get a 7200rpm ATA100 Seagate 80G. And get some more RAM....With a proc like that, half a gig of RAM would be realistic. Also, check that you spend some money to get a _large_ airy cabinet with more than one fan. See that air-flow is good and sound as low as possible. Have a XP 1800, it makes quite a weird sound at night. cheers ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Order your Holiday Geek Presents Now!
