me thinks james brigman has saved the day with a donated motherboard
following his upgrade.
as for the 911, well, i am partial to the 930:

or you could just go for the 911 carrera and not worry about linux
anymore.

good luck!
d.m.
recently, i dropped my anti-establishment pc (non-intel and
non-microsoft system) en route to the open source lab at exploris. it
hit the sidewalk rather hard and fried the motherboard or processor. i
really need to buy a new pc since it is a few years old yet spent way
too much money prior to dec 31 to reduce tax liability and am low on
$$$. repair is inevitable.
so, my request for comment is as follows:
does anyone have a recommendation on a replacement motherboard/
processor
that takes the old 512 MB SDRAM and IDE hard drive? currently, the
motherboard is MSI and processor is AMD Athlon. am i better off
chunking the old one and chocking it up to experience?
better yet, if someone has a beater machine they want to donate to
exploris and take a tax write off, i can donate my parts to beef it up.
then, we can leave our ubuntu machine in the server room online at 45
Mbps for the open source lab to use.
regards,
jim
