I think the install floppy is a good, valid test of the system EXCEPT
for the
video card, because the install disk does not run X Windows. But in most
cases
the real question is if the motherboard has any incompatabilities, and
the
install disk should point that out...
Besides, video cards are a known entity, it is really just a matter of
getting
the model number and looking up XFree86 compatability on the net...
