I'm wondering about SATA. While yours is an ATI SB400, there are some ATI chipset mobos that use the ULi M1575 which is said to have good Linux support for SATA2+NCQ. don’t call me “sir” anymore :)

Both are 32 bit versions though. I plan to install FC5~64 bit version once I get a new temporary hard drive (maybe a month from now). Different story when it comes to m$ though, sometimes the computer freezes while playing some games (hangs on elder scrolls 4, but never on doom3) ~ but that's just fyi, that wasn't really part of the question. Anything specific you wanted to know about, sir? ^^ Sir Migs

You can still afford to backup your files in CDRs (maybe in a DVD-R at some point in the future). my files have reached the DVD-R limit. My work email alone is 3GB for 3 months. My Ateneo email is much much much much much more volumous than that. My YTD works files are already at 8GB. I can fit everything in 3 DVD-Rs. Unfortunately, my laptop (endor) only has a CD-RW drive. So no choice, RSYNC is the only thing that works for me. Waaaaahhhh! Good for you!

Haha! My desktop doubles as a gaming station after office hours, that's why I got it a little buffed. But if it were just for work, I'd have it built almost just like yours. :D Of course, great people think alike!
