Yes, I know, but I was short on cash and wanted a simple desktop. Had I known it would cause me this much trouble (APM, buggy video with XFree86, crappy case, 4 PCI slots), I would have held out a while longer with my old Dimension XPS-T450. I'm going to start working next week, I think I'll save the processor, RAM, and PCI cards, and invest in a high-quality motherboard, a good case, and a replacement for the built-in video. Then everything will be alright. ;) On Thu, Mar 08, 2001 at 05:35:56PM -0500, Jonathan M.
