http://www.xfree86.org/cardlist.html ELSA ERAZOR II ......................................... XF86_SVGA ATI Xpert 98 ........................................... XF86_Mach64 I have the XPERT 98 and it works find. There is a little snow on the screen but the speed and all if fine. > > Can I use the AMD K6 processor with debian? > This is really a Linux kernel issue not a Debian one. From the kernel configure help for processor selection: Here are the settings recommended for greatest speed: - "386" for the AMD/Cyrix/Intel 386DX/DXL/SL/SLC/SX, Cyrix/TI 486DLC/DLC2 and UMC 486SX-S. Only "386" kernels will run on a 386 class machine. - "486" for the AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel DX4 or 486DX/DX2/SL/SX/SX2, AMD/Cyrix 5x86, NexGen Nx586 and UMC U5D or U5S. - "586" for generic Pentium CPUs, possibly lacking the TSC (time stamp counter) register. - "Pentium" for the Intel Pentium/Pentium MMX, AMD K5, K6 and K6-3D. - "PPro" for the Cyrix/IBM/National Semiconductor 6x86MX, MII and Intel Pentium II/Pentium Pro. > What graphic card and processor do you recommend? Since 3D support is virtually non-existent on Linux if you aren't dual booting or using the 3D you can save some cash and not get a 3D card. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes." - unknown Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
