Hi,

I would love to join development, is there cheap hardware
available already?

E.g. is it possible to take my old amd-k7 box and
just replace mainboard and perhaps ram to have
a usable amd64 system?

How much money must I save at least?

Is it necessary to put in more than 4gigs of RAM,
to test the system adequatley?

Regards,
Marc
