How many have you tried? How many different runs. If it's only one or two boxes this is not sufficient. I've tested over a dozen of the Dell OptiPlex GX1's and not a single one has failed, some of them were built nearly a year apart. Though this is a good place to start to build another possible compatible box to look for. I'd want to see at least two runs of machines and the video cards and network support should also be at least two revs. This implies you'd probably want to test 6-8 boxes to be reasonably sure of listing them as 'compatible'. I'll add it to my list of boxes to look for. -- -- Open Forge, LLC 24/365 Onsite Support for PCs, Networks, & Game Consoles 512-695-4126 (Austin, Tx.) help@open-forge.com irc.open-forge.com Hangar 18 Open Source Distributed Computing Using Plan 9 & Linux 512-451-7087 http://open-forge.org/hangar18 irc.open-forge.org James Choate 512-451-7087 ravage@ssz.com jchoate@open-forge.com
