These are my computer specifications (I am not kidding): Ultra high speed CPU: AMD K6-2+ at 550 MHz, Extra high end GPU: nVIDIA RivaTNT 16MB PCI, Super high speed SDRAM: 512MB PC133, Seagate 120GB 7200rpm + Western Digital 120GB 8MB buffer Windows98-SE + WindowsXP-SP1a + RedHat-Linux-9.0 + Suse-Linux-9.1 (Already, I am using Mozilla browser 1.7.3 on Linux) Other system properties: Professional sound: Creative SB16 ISA, High bandwidth modem: Rockwell 33.6 ISA, High quality big monitor: 14" color monitor ----------------------------------- Have fun!
