[OT] Buying a new computer

[Amichai Rotman]

There was a company selling computers pre-installed with Linux at the 2008
August Penguin. I can't remember the name. They won't ask you what is
Linux...

I just bought a computer at a regular neighborhood computer shop, with the
following specs:

2GB RAM
Gigabyte G41 Motherboard
500GB Hitachi SATA HDD
I had an nVidia 8400GS w/ 512MB VRAM - so I added it at home.

I use it with Compiz - without a problem - just make sure you are using the
latest driver.

cost me about 1400 NIS (not including the nVidia card).
