Re: [TCLUG:6233] Builing A System

[Brady Hegberg <bradyh@bitstream.net>]

I recently built a system using a Tyan S1590S.  It works great.  It has 4 
PCI, 4 ISA, and an AGP which is a lot of slots.  One thing you have to keep 
in mind is that Linux still has trouble with some PCI 
peripherals...especially modems.  I bought it for $255 (with a K62-400 
processor) at General Nanosystems on University.  The nice thing for me 
about buying it there is that they tested it in front of me and set all the 
dip switches.
