Re: Time to buy a new computer
Yes, definately go with the G400 Max. It rules. And the SB Live card
rules too (I got the 512). I think RH 6.2 supports the Live outa the box
now.... when I installed 6.1 I had to pull the module down from Creative's
site, but it worked like a champ!
I don't know what the hell processors yur talkin about? CuMine? Are they
celeron's or sumthin? Whatever they are, they should be fine :)
The Case mfg. I love is colorcase.com. You have to actually place an
order with them via the phone, but you can get some cool lookin cases, and
if you ask for they're best power supply - you'll be very happy. It's a
continuous 300W pwr sply. Very Nice.
As for IDE... I'm sorry to hear that *laugh* Nah... as long as you get
two drives, attached to seperate controllers, and do yur partitioning
right you should be able to get the performance to a decent level.
Sounds like it'll be a rockin system. Sorry to hear about the *crash* I
hate when that happens. :(
