Hi all

I'm about to build a new system. If anyone can see that I'm likely to encounter any insurmountable problems, I'd be grateful of the warning. Chances are that I'll use rh9, as a) I'm most familiar with it, and b) I find that I have the fewest hardware problems with this distro.

This is what I plan to get:

Shuttle SB75G2 XPC Barebones (i.e. Intel socket 478 533/800Mhz FSB; Chipset: Intel 875P)
Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
GeForce 4 MX440-8x 128MB

I'll also get 1GB of RAM (of the type recommended for the mb) and an IDE DVD-RW, which shouldn't be the cause of many problems (right?). Is the built-in soundcard likely to be autodetected properly?

I've done as much checking as I can on the rh hardware listings, and it seems to be OK, but I thought I'd ask, just in case.

Thanks

Ian

you should be fine. I was thinking of building an athlon shuttle this summer. having the onboard video and a pci video may cause problems but not with rh... some other distros (Mandrake and debian) always got confused by my dell with onboard video (disabled in the bios) and my pci video. anyways good luck

I'm going to buy the one without any onboard graphics to avoid the problem. Also, I take it you mean AGP, not PCI??

agp on the shuttle... pci on my dell... sorry. what's the link for the one without onboard graphics?
