I've run 3rd edition on an Asus KT-7A with a 1GHz Athlon with no
problems. I haven't run it very hard yet, though, as I don't have
proper support for my video hardware (and what hardware I do have is
buggy). I guess I need to get a manual out of 3DLabs and find some
time to hack up a driver to support the SGI flatpanel/VX1-1600SW card.

I thought I had read that you can't install Plan 9 on a computer that
has a geforce 256. Is this true?

I haven't got my copy with me, but there's advice about AMD processors
and various motherboards in PC Hardware in a Nutshell, by Robert Bruce
Thompson and Barbara Fritchman Thompson, O'Reilly & Associates,
published October, 2000, ISBN 1-56592-599-8. It's 500 pages and I
find it to be much better than the usual run-of-the-mill PC Hardware
Bibles that run at least 1,200 pages yet don't say very much on the
topics I care about.

Heh. Russ has a thesis and I have a compiler, so it seems it will
probably be at least May before I have time...
