I have a Duron/VIA chipset-based board and have had no problems... it seems that the kernel crashes were due to a bad DIMM (which has dropped me back to 128 MB... I don't even want to think about how painful GNOME will be...). The onboard sound, however, apart from the annoying buzzing that has a history of plaguing VIA sound chips, works perfectly. -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I've been gone for a while, made some changes in my style" GPG Fingerprint: 354C 7A02 77C5 9EE7 8538 4E8D DCD9 B4B0 DC35 67CD Currently playing: Misty Mountain Hop.ogg Linux 2.4.21pre4-1mdk 20:00:06 up 2:01, 5 users, load average: 0.73, 0.39, 0.24
