[LUG] dual atom acer revo system

 

Hi

Just wondered if this sound a good deal

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/236579

I am not looking for anything hi spec,  my current duron 1600 gets used
for e-mail, web browsing, music, and watching vidoes, etc,  I could
easily add an external DVD drive if I wanted to watch dvd's

I will probably run games on it,  such as glest, wesnoth and perhaps
open / alien arena and a few other modern Linux games which my current
system (mainly due to geforce4 graphics) struggle with.

the version of Linux aside, I will put something like ubuntu on it
anyway,  I take it there are LInux drivers for nvidia ION graphics chip
sets. ?

Just wondered what people thought to this as a budget system,

Paul
