my new comp!!
ab2ms:
try mandrake 8.2 I have it running flawlessly, and there aren't many probs I've seen with any chipsets so far. The CPU speed should be automatically set, but memory is sometimes mis-reported. I mixed and matched and all is well. cheap mobo, amd athlon XP 1700+, 256 meg DDR, geforce 4mx and the linux nvidia drivers are very nice.As a rule I stay away from onboard stuff. The motherboard has enough to do anyway.

nice, my computer actually only has 64 MB RAM, the other 64 is used by my onboard video card
ab2ms:
are you running KDE or Gnome or other? KDE is my choice, but memory intensive. these days even with linux 64 is low if you run any graphical environment. Gnome is noted to do better at limited memory, but some people don't see any difference. My first impression is that the memory is the hold up.

xbill runs slow??? Then you have definite problems! I've run xbill on 386 machines and it was fast.

ya, i'm gonna buy at least 128 MB of SD RAM or i might get some DDR RAM. does anyone know how much 128 MB chip of DDR RAM costs?
