In my case it's the opposite though. I have an old 180MHz Cyrix MediaGX with
48MB of RAM. Windows 98 can't seem to recognize the car although I have the
driver disk for the built-in sound (Win95 driver though). So my Windows is
silent. The funny thing is, when I run an old DOS-type game (like the old Jagged
Alliance), I have sound! Windows games, however, don't get a peep.
On Linux, sound is no problem on my machine. sndconfig got my sound up in no
time. This was true for Redhat 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2. I'm listening to Paul Gilbert
on mp3 right now.
My built-in video gave RedHat 5.0 a problem, but I simply put in an old Trident
card and the priblems went away. RH 6.2 runs well.
But yes I always thought X was a bit heavy.
God bless!
