I just built my newest system, today. $89.00 delivered. MSI 64bit
mainboard K8NGM2-FID was released 02-16-2006, but, it really won the
shootout of mainboards on many hardware sites. Price included Sempron
3000+ processor.
Tossed into a case with a 550 watt P4/Athlon PSU, with a DVD rom drive,
and 768 Mb DDR memory, it all booted, then installed, in about 15
minutes. Wow!
If an XP or Vista install were attempted, I would still be here working
on trying to gather all the drivers!
This is my first MODERN 64 bit system, because I have had my DEC Alpha
64 since 2005.
Since I started using 'other' OSes, alongside Microsoft in 1997, it has
become much more difficult to continue to try to justify the huge amount
of wssted man-hours and resources, and money, that any Microsoft OS
requires to simply keep running!
I really admire *BSD and GNU/Linux, in all the hundreds of Distros
extant! Mepis 64 bit version 6.5 is awesome!
Anyone who has the least difficulty with Vista or XP, would do best to
download a copy, from http://www.mepis.org and burn it to CDrom, boot
and install it!
