you mean I can put four in? Hell I'm used to 2 in customization. Four seems like overkill, but hey that's the best type of kill.

I've actually enjoyed most of my Linux experiences, though I made the mistake of having an ATI card in an Ubuntu system. Not the best driver support.

I think at one point the best I could do graphically was 640*480, 16 colour.

Mayhaps my next video card will be nVidia.

True enough, though a little hijack here and there keeps things lively.
