thanks all for your inputs. finally, for about rs. 700 more (processor+mobo) over celeron, i got an athlon x2 dual core!! 'cool&quiet' and pretty fast with 1gb ram.
any recos for the linux distro? -for a relatively nub (dabbled with redhat 7 last) -need an easy installer (for dual boot) -need AMP (preferrably out of the box) & gimp so what say? -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
