Hi,
Over kill on the memory, 256 is good with 384 swap for backup area. I have it running on a L400c so I would suspect it will work on yours also. May have to didle with the audio setup.
I am sure you will have fun trying
Mike

Hi, Im in the process of setting up a knoppmyth box. Before i get down to work i wonder if you have any oppinions on this hardware conf. As far as i heave read in these forums i shouldnt get into too much trouble. I will try to use some old scrap equipment to start with. If this turns out to be the best entertainment system ever i will uprade for my needs. I have a old Dell dimention with: 2 * 663 MHz PIII coppermine 1 * GB memory 1 * 120 GB Seagate IDE 1 * Hauppauge 350 PVR (Ok, this is not old scrap) 1 * Soundblaster Live 5.1 Im hoping to use my 350 as my TV out aswell. Can anyone give a tip on a silent DVD? Thanx a bunch /Pompa |

Hi. If it has an on board audio, try that, may have to use the alsaconf. I usually have to add a modprobe in the bootmisc.sh as the "older, more mature" machines need that to load the driver. cs-4236, younger machines have the i810. Mike |

I'll give it a go first, i want to be able to connect it to some sort of suround? system. if everything else works fine i might buy a better card that someone have proven to work. Cheers Magnus |
