Piru: yes, PC26400-800. good to hear that the power increase will be noticeable.
JJ: Windows Vista. just kidding. I've never really had a PC that was "up with the times". There are things I want to do but its just too much for my current system. IE. Boot into linux and run VMWare, in VMware run XP and Nikon pic editing software. Problem with the Nikon stuff its too slow on my current system. Cant run Photoshop CS3 or OSX (in vmware) because of my processor.
countzero: SuSE 10.3 or Ubuntu. I have a wifi card that works under 10.0 SuSE but I had a hard time making it work under 10.3 so I reverted back to 10.0. I will be looking for a card that works well under both distros.
