Sorry, I'll only answer questions on the mail list. I am not a hardware man, so if the config I list below dont work, dont jump on me.
What were some of the other specs for your Dual comp? RAM type? power supply? I am new to Linux but have heard that it can be finicky with hardware. Or is there a very nice place to find hardware that is compatiple (both together and with linux)? Thanks for all the help so far!!!
