Keith, you weren't really clear. Is the chemist looking to switch over to Linux, or stay with windoze98? If its Linux, i don't know that you'd even need to go with a fancy mobo. Then again, it all depends on how much data they need/want to backup, and how often. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.
