Mad made? as in Mad magazine, Mutual Assured Destruction, or just some P O'd dude ??

And read "Using Samba" , it's free, and it really helps :D

If it does not have built-in wireless, then you need a wireless nic pc card. That is just to get started :D

AIW 9600 Pro has an FM tuner? Is this something brand new? I bought one about a month ago, and it certainly don't have FM :(

I have the TV2000 Expert, and it works well in Linux, FreeBSD, and Win XP, never tried it with 98 so I can't help you there. And I have no experience with the MSI card.

On my Promise ATA-100 card, I had to config the drives as "Master, single" instead of "Master with slave present" to get them detected.

Use the same hardware, but install ClarkConnect instead. It's a customized version of RedHat, easy install, includes dynamic DNS, and it's all free. I have it running on an old Dell P-200, and it sits on a shelf, no keyboard/mouse/monitor. Everything is controlled through a web browser on any...

My PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 300 :D Had it since 98 and it's been in at least a dozen computers. Currently powering my XP1700 @ 2ghz, cdr/w, cdrom, and a 120 and a 40 gig hd :D

Or you could just buy a PSU tester, I think Newegg sells them for around $15.

Are you saying that ECC DDR won't work in an nForce board? First time I have heard that.

Dell's Bios pretty much eliminates any overclocking :(
