Graphics performance from a PCI gfxcard with a 350MHz CPU might not be acceptable. If that turns out to be the case, I'd try to pick up a faster CPU and/or an AGP 1 (or 2 I think, but not 4 up) card to use with it. Those common legacy parts should be available dirt cheap or free many places, eBay or local computer shops that haven't thrown away all the old stuff. PIII CPUs require a different cooler configuration than PII.
Even those "dirt cheap" prices, once you gather CPU+RAM+Video+Shipping, seem insane as a proportion of the cost of a new and *MUCH* faster and more stable machine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
