I use this one (3 ethernets): http://shop.tronico.net/pd1100964260.htm?categoryId=0 with 7-CURRENT and I've happily replaced an AMD K6-III 450/384MB Ram using a 4GB Microdrive ( but thats not even close to dualcore =) ).

You really need 2 cores then? How about: http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/06/21/the_next_generation_of_cool/ ? (this isn't dualcore as well - but signifcant faster than 350mhz) HTH, Frank Reppin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE59do9Atrv5KxwOwRAofpAKCYd8AR/ziItnSd9rLNmfbqO54iIACgh5we ylrTigjUyQsfaM8KrKMQ5d8= =Qqnk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
