The only thing is that you *must* install the latest NVidia drivers (6106). I don't know which ones yast/you picks for you, but the 5xxx serieas drivers will lock the ssytem when running 32bit OGL applications (quake3 to name just one) I'm just running standard office stuff on it. I figured rather than making it just a test unit, I might as well use it. No games though.
Not sure what ``just office stuff'' means for you .. Im not sure if you canr un Xover office on it. BUt you can run OpenOffice without problems.
Apart from that, the box will just voom (esp.if you have the FX3000 video card ;) ) I'm running the lowest card...NVS280.
Even that one will go Voom, if you put 4000 volts through it
Any problem with Windows XP running on it? Again....for test purposes.
Apart from the fact that it's windows XP you mean ;) ..
NO, if you install a 32bit OS on that box,k it will behave just as a 32bit
AMD cpu.
Im not sure if the network card and such will be supported by windows, but
I reckon they will.
