Possible new computer, any pointers
Hello All: I am looking at purchasing a refurbished "eMachines T6420 AMD Athlon 64 3400" from TigerDirect, does anybody have one of these running Suse 10.0, any problems. Thanks, Mike

Check the slots are they enough. I have a MSI barebones runs everything sound, graphics and nic onboard just fine. Graphics is 24meg 2D so someday ill get a good card. Point is all their MB are required to be able to disable the onboard allowing you to use your own cards. IMHO tiger direct has good stuff. Just check the chips and avoid ASUS. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

Why avoid Asus? I have one here (my 2nd) with a 64 bit CPU. It runs fine.

Asus product is good stuff, but service from the Asus warranty dept. is occasionally required, and in that dept. they're one for Linux users to avoid. http://www.mozillaquest.com/Linux04/Asus_Sucks_Story-01.html -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

Going by what I have seen on the list the older ASUS were fine but later ones were reportedly a problem something about bedding Microsoft and becoming proprietary. But your one of the lucky ones so hurray for you. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/
