I'm looking to update six 8MB 486DX2-66 systems collecting data to something with a bit more oomph. I bought one of the Cyrix MediaGX moetherboards mainly for price - a 180Mhz motherboard with everything and 32MB memory was about $280.00. FreeBSD installs OK and it works fine for the intended use. Though I didn't buy it for multimedia, xfree86 doesn't support it other than 640x480 VGA16 (I'll try Poul's recent changes to get 800x600). Before I buy five more does anyone want to comment on the MediaGX - quality of the architecture, design wins in low end systems, ease of working with Cyrix, possible future support under xfree, etc. I did a bit of websearching and other than support under that Linux "gg?" project I couldn't find out much. Those hits implied typical non-disclosure nonsense waived for Linux. I found no pointers to full technical docs at Cyrix, and Xinside doesn't currently support it either.
