Good Linux Hardware Review sites?

I'm not aware of any specific sort of site. Personally, I'd use a half
decent motherboard (something like a Gigabyte board) and avoid the SiS/
VIA "everything on a chip" sort of hardware.

Soundcards - just about anything will work in my experience

Depending on what you want to do governs the processor type. For games,
AMD, for a good workhorse Celeron. If you want to protect against the
evils of DRM, Celeron are the only ones which won't want everything
"digitally signed" to run - which means it's the best for Linux. I'm not
sure if it's still the case that AMD and the Pentium range are following
Chairman Bill on that score as they have both been lobbied hard against
such a move by the open source community (which the whole of the
Palladium BS was designed to kill once and for all)

Memory - anything goes, same applies to HDs, CDs, Zip and DVDs

Don't buy cheap - you'll end up with crap.

TTFN

Paul
