Mainly because I use dial-upon the Win XP system, and I don't want the hassle of changing it to use DSL, before I get the new Linux PC. Also, I'm curious to see if the experience with dial-up is better on Linux than on Win XP.
I can't imagine anything that would make it better on Linux. Web pages are simply not designed with low bandwidth in mind these days.
I do plan, after the Linux PC is operational, to switch to DSL.
Well in that case, it would seem a waste to buy a modem that works with linux at all. If you already have one, that's different. Dialup modems are not that cheap these days due to lack of demand.
Others have mentioned this too. Makes good sense.
I will change the spec to 16 GB and assure expandability to 32 GB.
16GB is good these days. -- Len Sorensen
