Suse Linux 8.0

I have been considering playing with Linux for a couple of months now. I have a full version of Suse 6.2 but my video card is not supported. I could upgrade the XFree86 to 4.2.0 but figure I might as well buy 8.0.

ATI Rage 128 Xpert

I'm just wondering if anyone else has this version and what problems they have had.

I have looked on Suse.com but their Hardware compatability database does not list my video card. Also the system spec states you have to have Pentium 4. That seems very limiting to me, I have a Celeron 500. Again, for those with 8.0 What system spec do you have?

Thanks for hour help in this non VB matter.....
