-first thank you kindly for helping me out.
-i've read the reviews that i could find, and will be searching for more information on indiv parts as it goes; possibly updating as well.
-kindly advise on parts / combinations and such .
- im thinking of putting vista 64 bit + linux on this.
-probably not the best place to ask this, but anyone knows if linux supports dual video cards these days?
