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.
