Nice machine...

My 'workstation' is an Athlon 800 with 512MB and a GeForce Ti4600 128Mb.=20
To be honest the dual boot is only really there for my wife's (none) use=20
and my daughters games. I'm quite happy with UT2003 running under linux=20
and have no real cause to boot into Windows these days...

was < =A3150 inc VAT from Microwarehouse, and I've spoken to some people=20
who have got this card working under linux so my hopes are high...
