Ok, I have a Asus K*n_E delux mobo w/ 2 gig mem  $139.00 & $450.00
2  250 g HD              99..00 each
AMD64    $269.00 
Sony dual dvd burnet combo  $129.00 and getting a new PNY NVida Vertigo 5700 w/ 128 mm $70.00

Running Suse 9.2

I may not be the fastest, but I am peddling down the road.  I fixed the X11R^ problem, removed the X11R6 directory and rebuilt it and sax2 of the video driver system. Sax2 is amazing, better than that old way of configuring.

cheers
