Free BIOS (Coreboot, etc.): ---------------------------
Our
computers are not yet available with a Free BIOS, but we are very
interested in offering that option in the future. We can build systems
with Coreboot as the BIOS, but there will be some limitations as to
certain video cards (ATI for 3D), processors, motherboards, memory,
WiFi, and other areas as well. Please write us if you are interested.
Yes that is good news Pete. I don't really get the part about
"limitations" though, why would those
items have "limitations"?
They probably meant that since there are no modern Intel chipsets or
CPU's currently supported by coreboot that this will be limited to AMD
only. Plus AMD DDR3 support is only ~1 week old.
Yeah, your probably right. But the way it is worded implies major
limitations. I would think if a vendor was going to offer coreboot as an
alternative solution, they would spend some time developing coreboot to
work 100% on their product.
Anyways it is a good start to see coreboot offered as an alternative.
Maybe other PC vendors will catch on :-)
