Well, I bought a second $200 special. This came unfortunately with a bent frame, but, it isn't bad enuf to make me send it back.
It runs fine. I bought an extra 512 meg memory (total of 620 megs or so) for $78. I got $5.00 legal copies of XP pro and microsoft office from my educational center. They installed fine (but slowly). The only problem was the audio. This AC97 integrated chip defeated knoppix, too. But, the motherboard ships with a cdrom with windows drivers for this chip. When I installed it, I got a warning that MS hadn't approved this software yet and I might have trouble later on, but I said, what the heck. It plays great. So, this $200 computer (with a memory upgrade) seems to be doing fine with XP pro, too. Please see my note about dual booting this baby elsewhere in the list.
