New Desktop Configuration
Hi Guys,
I dont know if this is the right thread to post this but i didnt find a better category. I am planning to buy a new desktop and i would need your suggestions for that. The desktop will be mainly for
1) FPS and MMORPG gaming in Windows (Quake, UT and WOW)
2) Linux for programming (Gentoo, Ubuntu and RH)
3) Open solaris for programming / experimenting
So right now the biggest confusion i have is whether to go for Intel and AMD (and i am sure i am not the first one to break my head over it). I was looking at the prices of AMD dual core and seems way better than Intel but again I am not sure of the performance and the HCL for linux and opensolaris.
Also i am looking for a motherboard which has inbuilt ATI or Nvidia graphics card for gaming. I dont plan on spending extra for graphics card
Any suggestion would really be appreciated.
Oh just forgot to mention, please also note that the chipset should work on all operating systems
Also, did you guys ever face any issue with 320GB SATA seagate HDD?
Thanks in advance for the help

In addition to Intel's own ``PRO/1000'' line of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, these chips also appear on some server systems, processor evalu-
ation boards, and in embedded systems.
The i8254x supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming and TCP segmentation in hardware. The wm driver supports these features of the chip. See
ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable this feature.
