I bought a Foxconn 661FXME based on SiS 661FX chipset. Everything "just works" so far. Sound works from snd_ich Network is sis0 USB is detected but not tested yet. On board graphics is not fully tested but running at 1024x768 24bit with the Xorg sis driver. No GL working (or it's just poor) but not thoroughly checked/tested. Grphics speed and/or GL is not of any real interest and there's still and AGP slot to plug in something more "meaty" if required. It's got a P4, 3.2GHz CPU and 512MB of DDR400 in it. I still need to optimize the kernel. Should I be compiling SMP in for the hyperthreading thingummy? -- Dave
