Hello!

Surely the below system is good - but is it compatible!?
Would appreciate any comments good/bad.

Thanks.

Well, there's one way to find out.

Install and let us know!

Looks good. The only issue I foresee is the Nvidia 8xxx series cards are giving most users here issues. Consider a 6xxx or 7xxx card, as they mostly appear to work out of the box. That's all I use in my systems at home.

Welcome aboard

Hi Seth
Thanks for the advice!
I have spent more time tinkering with my installations then using it.
So for the future I prefer to do more research about compatibility before committing to a particular setup.
My current setup is stable
Thanks to the forum I have been able to fix most everything so far.
Especially helpful were the instructions to set up the PPPOE connection
Cheers
John
