XD I'm using an Intel Pentium III processor, 930MHz, with 192mb of RAM. I'm not sure on motherboard, how could I find that out? This is a pretty old computer, though probably the only part that old is the case. I'm installing FC3 on a second hard-drive (as not to interfere with my Windows installation). When I run the install, I check "Remove all partitions", so I haven't set anything up in advance. I'm installing FC3 i386, do you want the build number? I don't know how to find that either... *looks embarrassed* Sorry if I didn't explain everything, I'm slow today, so just keep asking and I'll tell you ;-) Thanks, Thomas Riggs </body> </html>
