|     Hi gang,
|
|     For some reason i got a workstation with 2 quad core intel  E5410
|     cpus and 8GB of FB-DIMM memory. It has only one PCI-E 16x slot, and
|     the card on that slot is NVdia 8600GT with 256 DDR3 mem.
|
|     I plan to install Ubuntu 7.10 64bit on it.
|
|     The question is, with this box, what can I do with it?
|
|     I am thinking of use it for graphic, animation or video editing, but
|     i am not sure if the graphic card is good enough for doing it and is
|     there any software i can use for these purpose.
|
|     Fold at Home?
|
|     any suggestions are welcomed ....
|
|
| At the risk of being drawn and quartered.  I'd make it a Windows gaming
| platform.
|

then drawn and quartered it is!! lol

why make it a windows gaming box when almost all windows games run under
wine perfectly or with minimal fuss?
