I'm a long time SuSE user currently at 8.2, and heading for 9.0. My old faithful sub-1Ghz AMD on an ASUS motherboard just died. Congestive disk failure. I am looking for a new machine and want to go "near top end." Listed below is what I am considering. I would appreciate any feedback on this selection including recommendations for any alternatives or any negative experiences with my selections. I am not a heavy gamer. I do digital photography, some architectural CAD, lots of surfing, and typical home office stuff. This is a retirement machine for me that I expect to use for several years.
Mother board - ASUS P4C800 Deluxe CPU - Intel P4 2.8c Memory - Samsung 512Mb DDR 400 (2 chips) Video - ASUS V9480 TVD hard drive - Seagate SATA ST3160023AS (barracuda 7200.7 160Gb) DVD - Plextor PX504A-SW (DVD + and - RW and CD-RW)
Any comments greatly appreciated.
Have you considered going AMD64? Our beloved SuSE is available for that platform, and prices are not bad for what you get. For example, check out http://www.cyberpowersystem.com. You can even customize one for your specs, and can even NOT pay the Microsoft tax. For me, this is my upgrade path. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
