Date: 23 Jun 1995 19:50:28 GMT Organization: Our Lady of Mass Confusion. Lines: 21 Message-ID: <3sf5u4$ge@blackice.winternet.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: eclipse.winternet.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I am about to buy new hardware, and plan on installing FreeBSD (I installed it before, but it was like the day 2.0 came out, and I quickly gave up :). I am considering two different systems, because I don't know if I can afford the second one, here are the two systems: AMD DX2/80 16MB Ram, 850MB IDE hard drive, Diamond Stealth 64 2MB VLB video card, Samsung SyncMaster 4Ne (15"). P5/75 16MB Ram, 540-850MB IDE hard drive, Diamond Stealth 64 2MB PCI /OR/ ATI Graphics Pro 2MB PCI, Samsung SyncMaster 4Ne /OR/ 15" Austin/KFC. I also could get the ATI on the DX2/80. Either would have a Mitsumi or Toshiba 2X or 4X CD. Anyone see any possible problems, or have advice on video cards, monitors, etc? -- name : jess kodadek email : kody@eclipse.winternet.com www : http://www.winternet.com/~jkodadek
