Doesn't that use a via c3 chipset? As I understand it, most modern binaries
will not run on the via c3, since it lacks MMX, 3DNow, and SSE extensions.
I'm not sure that I'm correctly recalling the averatech laptop's details....
I think my mini-itx board is waiting for me at home, hopefully I'll have it
ready to bring to a meeting next week (if the case arrives in time!).
regards,
Ben
