I am (maybe) in the market for a new computer. I have been considering a Micron dual P200MHZ pros, 64MB ECC EDO RAM, ultra-wide SCSI, Number Nine Revolution 3D vid card w/4MB ram, and it comes with a "fast ethernet 10/100 pci network adapter". Doesn't say what kind of e-net card. What ethernet cards do you recommend? I am not looking for super-fast-expensive-utra here, just a reliable, well-supported, *robust* card. Also, does X support the Number Nine Revolution card? It doesn't seem to be there in the cards database, so I don't know. Since this machine (which will be used as both an over-the-net server and a personal machine) would have two proccessors, I would need an SMP kernel. I guess that means 3.0, which is fine with me. My next question would be: Is 3.0 on CD-ROM? If not, does anyone know when it will be? Thank you. -Spike Gronim sporkl@dti.net "Tradition is the chastity belt of the mind"
