    We are all in the dark Jacques. I have no way of telling what the 
new computer has in the way of ram (I have 2 gb of 400 MHz Buffalo 
Select stuff but there is no information on what the computer calls it. 
And I don't know what kind of Internet cards are in the mother board.

    I don't know what goes in the /etc/modprobe.conf file. It is all one 
great mystery.
