Yeah, my old P4 1.8 box has a HIS mobo with a VIA chipset. Worked just fine. Even this Sempron64 box has an MSI mobo with VIA chipset. Those VIA chipsets are cheap and fit my purpose very well. The only glitch I have with this new mobo, is that the Unichrome chip wasn't properly supported by Xorg. I think the drivers have improved with Xorg 7. But by the time that came out, I had put in an NVIDIA card anyway... -- ---------------------------------------- Mrugesh Karnik GPG Key 0xBA6F1DA8 Public key on http://wwwkeys.pgp.net ----------------------------------------
