I bought a PC from MESH, and it works fine with Linux (Redhat 5.0 and
5.1). My spec is the following:


Intel PII233
64MB SDRAM
ATI xpert@work AGP video card
SB16 soundcard
24x CDROM (TEAC)
15" ADI ProVista

I think looking at your spec that you should be OK. Note though that
for your video card you will probobly need the most recent version of
XFree86 as other versions spit at the recent ATI cards.

Cheers,
