I'm currently using a [EMAIL PROTECTED], but the board seems to die :(

NP, i prefer intel ;) (at least the coppermine and thus the pentium-m :))

Solid state drives? I just heard some myths about IBM designing this,
but i never saw or read about one.

Fewer, if possible. (under 30W when idle)
Another problem is the dimension of the power supply. A 100W supply at
full load has less loss than a [EMAIL PROTECTED] But what about spikes? I don't
know (yet) exactly how this works, so could you give me some explanation?

Actually, if you can still get an agp mobo, and use a low-spec graphics
card (e.g. old radeon 7500, or 9200se)
are they still produced? I believe they're already 3-4 years old. Not
that i need more power, i just need a card that
- has been designed by a developer who knows what VESA is
- thus supports framebuffer
- is hardware accelerated
- is dual-headed (probably the biggest problem)
at the moment i use a matrox G450 which performs quite well.
thanks for your information so far,
regards,
