Just to warn you, Rhapsody is *VERY* picky with its hardware. Your board uses a VIA chipset, so likely will not work with Rhapsody. (Rhapsody officially dropped Intel support before the Pentium III came out, much less the circa late-1999/early-2000 machine you have.)

From what I recall, the "optimal" system for Rhapsody was based on an Intel SE440BX "Seattle" motherboard, as all onboard devices are supported. (And later Seattle boards could support up to a 1 GHz Pentium III, although the earliest models only went up to Pentium II 450 MHz.)

The best video cards with official support are the 8 MB versions of: ATI Rage, Matrox Millennium II, or the #9 Revolution 3D.

Intel 82556 or 82557-based network cards have the best support, and a real Sound Blaster 16 has the best sound support.

The IBM ThinkPad 560 or 760 are the only two notebooks with decent hardware support.
