My thanks to all the advice received on this thread. For the record, I've built the following: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ mobo: GIGABYTE GA-M55S-S3 4GB of Kingston DDR2 667MHz/PC2-5300 ECC (2 matched 2GB pairs) 3 * 500GB Western Digital Caviar SE16 SATA II 300 7200rpm 16MB cache configured as software RAID 5, giving around 930Gb under '/' Greaphics: Leadtek PX7300 GS (I only look at text) The biggest design problem turned out to be to find a case with enough 5 1/4" drive capacity (I need 2*DVD, floppy, the above 3 + other drives in the future). For anyone interested the Antek Nine Hundred has space for 10 such drives! PS: Antek TRUEPOWER TRIO 550W (nice big fan on top). It's now all up-and-running under openSUSE 10.2 - mostly (see another thread). Chris Haynes On Thursday, June 14, 2007 at 9:29:43 AM, Eberhard Roloff wrote:

AMD AM2 Athlon 64 x 2 Dual Core 4200 + ASUS AM2 M2N8-VMX Motherboard # Palit 7600GT 256M PCIe ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hi, should you have lower 3D requirements, you could also use the onboard nvida GForce 6100 for the time being and upgrade later (for less), should your requirements go up.
DDR2 1 GB 677MHz RAM x 2 = 2 GIG RAM* OR DDR2 512MB 677 RAM X 2 = 1 GIG RAM* For the integrated NVidia and also in any other case I would recommend to go for 2 GIG.
