I wouldn't use 70ns memory in a machine of this type - it's simply outside the hardware specs for a 66Mhz memory clock! > * PCI 32-bit UltraSCSI Fast-20 controller This is almost certainly not supported, unless it's an Adaptec by another name or something (or is compatible with one of our existing drivers). I've never heard of this beast and don't even know who makes it, so it's hard to say. > * PCI 64-bit PC graphics accelerator w/2MB DRAM I erroneously suggested that you consult the hardware guide about this in my previous post, sorry. You actually want to check the XFree86 docs to see if the chipset on this card is supported. Again, there's not enough info here to say since this is just a generic description. If this is an ATI or #9 card, it should work fine. If it's a Matrox then you will have to buy the AccelleratedX server for $99 (http://www.xinside.com). The rest of the components look OK. Jordan
