12.1 seems to work ok on p3 coppermine, piix4, w/ 128Mb ram. not using kde4 or gnome3 or unreasonably bloated apps (coughpythonappssneeze).
but with a caveat: I still haven't found out why 2 disks died running 12.1.
A friend (recently) installed a brand new 64-bit system with a new you-beaut mobo, cpu, psu etc. Powered it up, installed the OS (which happens not to be openSUSE) - and his HD died :-( . Reason? His brand new psu was RS and "took out" the circuit board on the HDD (the 12V channel and all that). The psu was replaced and he managed to buy a replacement c/brd for the Maxtor HDD.
What's a "you-beaut"? What's "RS"?
