My Computer Configuration

My setup:
  • ASUS P4S800D-X Motherboard with SiS chipset
  • Creative Labs SBLive! 5.1 Digital Model SB0220
  • ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AS [Radeon 9550] (AGP)
  • MSI nVidia NX7600GT 512MB (AGP 8x) [WooHoo!]
  • Promise Technology, Inc. Ultra133TX2 IDE Controller
  • Linksys WLAN PCI Card (BCM4303 Chipset)
  • Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350 (MPEG-2 Decoder/Encoder)
  • Now using a Deutsche Telekom MR-300 Media Receiver with TV over IP
  • Floppy drive (it's an old case)
  • Zip drive (came with the hand me down case) on Promise controller
  • DVD RW
  • DVD ROM
  • 2x 1x Seagate 300 GB HD (root, home, backups being recovered) on MoBo IDE controller
  • Firewire (IEEE-1394) PCI card
  • 1x Samsung 160 GB S-ATA on onboard controller (root, home)
  • 1x Samsung 500 GB S-ATA on onboard controller (storage)
  • 1x Western Digital 160 GB HD (MythTV storage) cam-corder digital video capture on Promise controller
  • 22" Westinghouse widescreen LCD that I currently use as Computer monitor, DVD monitor and TV.
  • Logitech 2.1 speakers I am running my computer through my home stereo system
  • Logitech Communicator STX USB Webcam
  • 1 GB (2x512) Team DDR400 RAM
  • 512 (1x512) Kensington DDR200 RAM (I lost a stick after the move)
I don't have onboard graphics. I hate the ATI card. ATI may have open source drivers, but they suck. I would much rather have a closed binary that worked. In my opinion, they are releasing their drivers as open source for marketing reasons. They do not support Linux.

My onboard SiS sound doesn't seem to cooperate with SuSE. I didn't bother with it since I have the SB card. It is nice, so why not use it?

You're a nerd, Josh.
