As of this writing, it appears that the first board (a Soyo) utilizing the SiS 630 chipset is making its way to market. This is one of those highly integrated deals, with the SiS 300 Video controller and a sound card built-in to the chipset (and is it a set?--Many things have been moved onto one package if not one chip). Anyway, the SiS 630 and 540 are supposed to be linux-friendly (from the SiS horse's mouth that word). I would love to see any reports on them. My previous experience with 530-based systems has been "Hassle to set up, but nary a hiccough afterward." Civileme
