I would guess the sound and SVGA systems wouldn't work (yet) since the sound is on-cpu "XpressAudio" and the video is on-cpu "XpressVideo." The reason I'm asking is that the computer store where I work can get 180MHz systems (w/o HD, CD-ROM, or RAM) for $235 cost. So they're cheap and small (the box is only a few inches in each dimension larger than a notebook). Of course, it only has room for one 3.5" floppy (built-in), one 3.5" HD, and one 5.25" device (CDROM or other IDE device), one ISA slot and two PCI slots. I'm thinking these could make nice small mail or secondary DNS servers... --Ludwig Pummer ------------------------------------------------------------------ ludwigp@bigfoot.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org PGP Key & Geek Code available on web page
