As a matter of interest, I am at this moment installing Windows XP and Linux/Fedora on a new disk (SMARTD has been warning me for several days that the old disk is about to die) on a very similar AMD Athlon64 3200 processor. This has an "ATI All-in-Wonder 9600 XT" video card, and I've had no problems with the graphics. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
