Sound... weeeelll... your mileage is likely to vary from chip to chip. The 600E uses a NeoMagic chipset for sound and video and so far the two 600Es I've dealt with suppoorted sound flawlessy (in one case) and not at all (in the other: module loaded, did nothing). IBM might have something specific on it. Networking was never a problem for me. A number of chipset manufacturers have taken to integrating odd things together; for example a SiS 6326 integrates (bodgy) video, AGP and IDE controllers on one chip. I guess the video-only cards and videoless 6326 motherboards are using chips with one or more non-functional sections lobotomised. Cheers; Leon
