      I should be upgrading too soon, but I figure I'll wait until the 64 bit AMD CPU's come out. I think I'll put my green on guns for now. Gunsmoke smells pretty good in the morning too! ;) -- Colin Leitner wrote: Viel Spaß noch mit der STL Ganz Genau!

        Sweet. Good luck getting that Radeon 9700 working on linux though. AFAIK anything after the 8500s aren't supported by X yet. Josh Knox

          So still no 28" monitor for you? Too bad :) I keep submitting “VB” as a Priority-1 bug, but apparently no one here knows how to fix it. Nick Hodapp, Semicolon

                  Nice, but why the pc2700 ram? If it's an AMD 1900+ (1566 MHz) you could just go for pc2100 ram ;) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

                    I thought of that, but I'm willing to give up a little. The rest of Linux will freakin scream though. :) ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

                      Because $180 for a 512mb stick is a little steep. I'll be upgrading the RAM (another 512mb stick) sometime in the middle of next year. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

                        Because the PC2100 RAM was only $25 cheaper (but I could uused three sticks on the MB), and the only PC3200 RAM was almost $50 more (and I could only use one stick on the mobo - a limitation of the mobo bios?). I plan on upgrading to the XP2400 or XP2600 sometime next year. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends
