and, read ALL the reviews you can in all the mags, whether on the
newsstand, or on the web pages (search google for 'motherboard'
'mainboard' 'video', 'AGP', etc...
Slash dot (/.org) and freshmeat.net covers news and views of Open Source
advocates, but, sometimes it might be the first to announce a new
hardware device, and also discuss compatibility with the 250+ different
(and mostly FREE) OSes.
I personally go for what runs the knoppix (Debian) OS, that reports to
me the hardware configuration, on a LIVE CD run. I travel the stores,
tradeshows,flea markets, and can test many hundreds of systems each
year. <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://knopper.net/knoppix" target="_blank">http://knopper.net/knoppix</a> I check out all the display models in
Best Buy, Sam's Club, Costco, CompUSA, and etc...
If they don't let me test drive a system with a CDrom that leaves no
traces on the hard drive, I totally badmouth that store to the Marketing
Executives of that corporation, and everywhere I go.
And, I do my utmost to maintain my credibility to the thousands of folks
whom I counsel about purchasing/using products.
After all, I take a test drive in any car I intend to purchase! I look
into the trunk, the engine, the glove box, slam doors, kick tires...
