Agreed.

Back to topic, looks good. As long as you aren't a die hard gamer, that GF2 Pro should be ok for a while longer. Good luck!!!

EDIT: Missed the part about that you play games, I'd sell that GF2 Pro, I'd bet if you could get $75 or so for it and get a Radeon 8500LE for around $100 using the money you get for the GF2 Pro

Well, the games I play aren't too terribly graphics intensive. Falcon 4, UT, Half-life. I'll probably upgrade to a GF4 in a few months.

Thanks

Well, I can't use NTFS as the support for writing to it in linux is sketchy. Thanks for your input.

use ntfs for the os then have a partition where you store your data that's fat32
