But were talking "buying a machine for me" so I would just go buy a machine built to spec at some white box maker. Go for a Intel 965/975 based motherboard with Dual Core cpu and a Nvidia video card with dual DVI. Intel boards are very well supported in Linux and Nvidia cards work well. If you purchase a NV40 based Nvidia card you will soon have 2D/3D supported with open source drivers created by nouveau (see link). http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=614&num=1 Richard > So what would you do?
