[Sheflug] Hardware Questions

["Dean Rickles" <nospam [at] sheffield.ac.uk>]

I could really do with any help at all here. I've just got a Dell Precision 
210 and want to add a few things to it:

Firstly, an ISA modem. Will the Linux installation program recognize
ISA devices (Plug-n-Play or otherwise)? If not, how hard is it to get
it to recognise it?

Secondly, a 2x AGP graphics card. Can I run a graphics card which
says it is 4x on a 2x bus? What is the best graphics card under Linux
(bearing in mind that I like to play Loki Games and have a 21' monitor
that I like to run at at least 1600x1200 in true colour)?

Thirdly, a TV-tuner card. I'm thinking Hauppage Win-TV because of
KWinTV. Has anyone had this working or know of any success
stories?

Lastly, I'm adding a second processor. Does Linux find both processors
during installation? (Both processors are PIII 550mhz)


Cheers,

Dean
