Thanks for the input.<br>
<br>
I am getting ready to build a new micro ATX box myself w/ AMD.<br>
<br>
I am lookin at BioStar NVidia motherboards - looks like the socket 939
boards may be a bit more versatile upgrade-wise than the (older?) 754
boards - am I wrong?<br>
<br>
What specific AMD CPU did you install? I am leaning towards an Athlon 64 3200+...<br><br>I will probably go with CentOS 4.3 - I am running it on a Dell Latitude with good results, and is is the standard platform at work. With a few extra repositories it seems to make an excellent desktop.
<br><br>My only complaint is that a recent yum upgrade replaced my kernel - I am still running a 'stock' 2.6.9-34.EL kernel. With the latest kernel ndis-wrappers does not appear to work. Fortunately, the original is still in GRUB so that I can select it when I need WIFI.

<br>text, major blip everytime you press EXC or scroll to the top or<br>bottom. I was not impressed.</blockquote><div><br>Any reason you don't use dG to delete to the end-of-file instead of 999d?<br> <br></div>Thanks again for the info, and happy 4th!!!
