Yup, I realize that. And it is a factor, since I could even decide to
go with a board with builtin Intel graphics and be able to go
completely open source with decent performance.
Considering that I'm on a Dual PIII 550Mhz, 2gb RAM, Matrox G450 AGP,
anything would be an improvement. *grin*
I'm not going to purchase now, I'll probably wait until after Xmas for
sales and such, but I am keeping my eyes open.
