Yes, I agree with that.

You have said this before and I think it is true. I am going to buy a
new motherboard and cpu and perhaps ram. I will take current setup
and install SuSE linux on it and use it for my net connection via
RoadRunner. I will then install NT on the new system and I will check
that all hardware is "clean". And it will be interesting to see how
SuSE behaves on the old hardware. I will get a new network card too
as you mention that.
