Hello.  I am trying to put together my first IBM system and I am
looking for recommendations on what is "state of the art" right now
as far as consumer-level sound and video.  It seems that there are new
cards released everyday and there are so many IBM magazines I don't know
where to start.  So if you have recommendations or know of a good magazine
comparison sometime in the last few months, please email me.  

Oh yes, the motherboard I intend to use (unless someone convinces me other-
wise) is a 386/486 with 1 localbus and some 8 and 16 bit slots (4 each?).  
Primary use for the machine will be running games and some sort of GUI (ie:
X, Win, OS/2, whoever comes out on top).  Also while I'm wasting bandwidth,
what's the minimum hardware config for Linux and will Linux run X (pref OSF)?

I know this is kind of vauge but I'm just looking for a push in the right
direction.  Thanks.
