No. I ran a Duron 1.1ghz, Asus K7 (I forget the exact model) and a GeForce4 Ti4200 for about 2 years without a problem. > Is Intel the best option for Linux users? Short answer: Doesn't Matter. For the most part it's the cheaper chipsets that cause issues (but that happens regardless of what CPU maker you choose.) It's a matter of what suits your needs and budget. Always do a search for the chipset on the motherboard and see what comes up, that will give you more information than the CPU itself. -- ~ Darryl ~ <a href="mailto:smartssa@gmail.com">smartssa@gmail.com </a> <a href="http://smartssa.com">http://smartssa.com</a> / <a href="http://darrylclarke.com">http://darrylclarke.com</a> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com </a> <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- Yours Sincerely, Mehdi H. <a href="http://opmdream.blogspot.com"> http://opmdream.blogspot.com</a>
