My System stuff is: 450 meg HDD (New one...) 325 meg HDD Dbl-spin Mitsumi <SP?> Sound-blaster clone Sound card 2- 3 1\2 1.44 Megs drives 1- 5 1\4 1.22 megs drives Local bus HDD\FDD controler supporting 3 Floppie drives 250meg Conor tape back up 486 DX - 40 8 meg memory Current o\s's: OS\2 2.1 Windows and DOS Oh yeah, and a local bus SVGAcontroler with 1.X megs video memory on i and a 15 inch monitor.. And the FreeBSD\Linux Partition is going to be like 100meg-150megs. Now, having a system like mine, and that partion size for it, which one would you get?
