 From the LogicSupply.com site:

"As of February 2012, due to driver limitations of the PowerVR graphics 
processing unit (GPU) core used in Intel’s Cedarview processors, 
operating system support is currently limited to Windows 7 and Windows 8 
32-bit versions.

While Ubuntu Linux 10.04 can be installed, functionality is limited and 
hardware graphics acceleration does not work. Because there are no 
drivers for the PowerVR graphics chip, the OS uses the generic VESA 
driver for X.org, thus Graphical User Interfaces still function, but 
users may experience sluggish performance, limited screen resolutions, 
video tearing, and playback for fullscreen or high-definition videos 
will stutter or freeze.

There are no available drivers for Windows 7 64-bit operating systems.

As a result, Logic Supply does not currently offer support for Windows 7 
64-bit or Ubuntu Linux 10.04 installed on Cedarview boards or guarantee 
functionality of these operating systems on boards purchased by our 
customers. This restriction may change as newer driver updates are 
released, and we’ll do our best to stay on top of it."

As ever, a new generation of cpu technology brings a new generation of 
problems. Note that earlier 32-bit Windows and all 64-bit Windows are 
excluded also, so it's not just Linux-fanboys they are diss'ing. The 
nettop market is lucrative but it sure is tough on the rest of us.

Since I often run my boards with a remote X-server this GPU may not be 
an issue for me. Comparing the DN2800MT block diagram with that of the 
D525MW, I don't see great differences in the layout of the blocks. Both 
use the NM10 Express chip set and a W83627DHG-A based Legacy I/O 
controller (which drives the parallel port) although the brand name of 
this controller changed from Winbond to Nuvoton.

The PS/2 keyboard/mouse ports have disappeared and they've reverted to 
an onboard parallel-port header (ala the D510MO). The loss of the PCI 
slot has already been mentioned.

I don't like to count my chickens before they're hatched, but it looks 
like this board may be acceptable within the limits of PCIe.

Kent
