It's an Intel 2.9GHz motherboard with builtin graphics and sound. But to be on the safe side I just want stuff to *work*. So will to order a video and sound card. cAn anybody tell me if FBSD-5.3 works with the SoundBlaster Live card and the "GeForce MX4000 64M" card? Since I can't fiddle with my hardware myself, I'd rather than everything just-works. ...Rather than having to beg favors. Also, if anybody knows of a good online store, please let me know. I found a website called "tigerdirect.com". Am I tossing the dice? anybody dealt with this place? thankee, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
