Oh yeah, one more thing, I have cable internet and a just recently bought asylum 256 graphic card, i need to know if linux will support both, and also i want to know if i run windows and linux on the same machine, wound there be memory problems since i have both programs running, and i know that i can choose what os to run in the boot screen but still, i need to make sure...
also, when i install mandrake, will i have the option of a duel boot pc, or will i have to figure out how to get windows and linux working myself? and if i delete all of my win xp partition, if i want to go back to xp, i would have to buy the XP CD right??
Thank you very much, i appreciate it alot for your answers to my questions

You have a GeForce video card, which has an official Linux driver you can download from nVidia.com.

The easiest way to set up an internet connection in Linux is via cable, so you shouldn't have any problems there.

Mandrake makes you dual boot to Linux or Windows, without changing anything to Windows XP. So just install it, and be amazed by Mandrake  ;)
