I set my main computer up as an Arch Linux/Win2k dual-boot rig, the specs are below.

CPU: AMD Sempron 3400+ ~1.8GHz.
GPU: ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 on-board.
Audio: Realtek ALC260, YMF262 Synth Emulation driver for MIDI in the Win partition.
RAM: 1.5GB DDR3.
HDD: 80GB.

Here's the Win partition, with the YMF262 Synth Emulation driver flexing its muscles (time shown is incorrect).

Here's the Arch partition, running some updates.

And here's how the hard drive is partitioned.

Cool! Is that a socket T462 processor, or newer?

Q: Why didn't Intel call the Pentium the 586?
A: Because they added 486 and 100 on the first Pentium and got 585.999983605.

I have since upgraded, but it's an AM2 chip. I may set this one up exclusively with 2k though, since I've no need for the Arch partition any longer.
