Well, I'm about as "bleeding edge" as it can get here with this new box. I did have to add a PCI sound card, but the SATA and all the rest of the "goodies" was seen and installed during the inital install. I did have a glitch with sound, but I think that is a permissions thing that SUSE just hasn't fixed yet.
Hey fred care to tell us what your bleeding edge hardware you have runnng there. I'm in market for some new stuff for a machine for server at home
Sure......it's probably the best well-built box on the market for the money. It's a Medion (German owned company) Composer 5200....Best Buy has them. It's a 3.2Ghz P-4 with 800Mhz. FSB, SATA w/200GB SATA drive, nVidia PCI Express 16x, bunch of USB ports, 1 DVD drive and DVD DL (dual layer) burner, etc.....all for uner $700. The sound isn't supported so I installed an SB Audigy 2 ZS.......ships with 512MB of RAM and I added another 512.
So this thread started out being about SuSE 9.3 and OLD hardware right? Ok, I have an old P-III with only standard PCI slots and I want to add SATA raid on the cheap. I don't want fakeraid, I need the card to do some of the work since my processor is slow and I have limited (640mb) of memory. I need to figure out what kind of SATA raid card might be out there on ePay or etc that I might possibly be able to afford; two drive support is good, four would be better, more would be likely way out of reach price-wise. Anyone know what cards are out there for standard PCI? That work with SuSE 9.2 like I have, or 9.3 like I might be convinced to upgrade to? -Tom [Fiction] If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, would it? --Monty Python --... ...-- -.. . -. ----. --.- --.- -... tpeters@nospam.mixcom.com (remove "nospam") N9QQB (amateur radio) "HEY YOU" (loud shouting) WEB ADDRESS http//www.mixweb.com/tpeters 43° 7' 17.2" N by 88° 6' 28.9" W, Elevation 815', Grid Square EN53wc WAN/LAN/Telcom Analyst, Tech Writer, MCP, CCNA, Registered Linux User 385531
