Im thinking of doing the same type of thing on a machine I just threw together from parts from the DUMP of all places runnin pretty well I just have to go find the video card drivers to get out of 16bit color mode. Anyways do you all think a P2 266 with 32mb of ram (can get some more pretty easy and plan to) and I believe its an 8mb video card would run Mandrake 8 or 8.1 fine? Or would it be too taxing on the system? (probably a stoopid question I know but hey Iv been a Micky$h*@ user for life)
