I should have given a little more information about my system:


Motherboard:  M2N-SLI DELUXE
Memory: 800Mhz

cat /proc/cpuinfo
model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
cpu MHz         : 3013.840

cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:      4060920 kB
MemFree:       2154220 kB

I only have 1 PCI-E 16x and 1 PCI-E 4x free.  Everything else is just
plain old PCI...
