I'd go to your local yum cha computer shop (i.e. http://ticomputers.com.au/ - round the corner from you, and I've had great support from them over the years) and buy a cheap machine :). Go for an Intel graphics card. - i.e. http://indigo.intel.com/mbsg/compare.aspx?orgID=0&aryAttrID=205,164 GA-8I945GMMFY-RH Gigabyte Intel® 945GM Express Chipset 07/2006 iL-90MV ABIT Intel® 945GT Express Chipset 06/2006 N4L-VM DH AsusTek Intel® 945GM Express Chipset 05/2006 Other than that, it should all be supported rather well these days. -Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
