I'm probably going to use Zeph's AMD distro, to begin with. But a few hardware things that I hope some nice people can give me some insight on my system.

 

--> Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon X1150 w/ now-128MB dedicated memory (was 256MB). Does this card have any hope for running Quartz Extreme and/or Core Image?

 

--> SATA Hard Drive: I'm using a 5,400RPM 160GB SATA Hard Drive. Could probably go both ways on this one, we'll see when I boot up Zeph's DVD.

 

--> LAN / WLAN: I have a Dell 1390 mini-PCI card. AFAIK, it works OOTB on 10.4, so should 10.5 work OOTB as well? My network controller is a generic controller, unknown of actual model numbers.

 

--> Displays: I use multiple displays -- one being the laptop's 15.4" screen, and I also have a 15" 1024x768 Dell monitor. Dual monitors are crucial, but I won't put money on my card supporting dual monitors on osx86.

 

That's it! Please, I'm open to any feedback.
