Two questions about this setup: - does the sound work okay? (obviously not expecting the super cool AC3 encode/decode stuff but ...uses some Intel 810 driver, right?) - did the networking work? (or was the NIC you've included in the list necessary?) - does the install setup program for Mandrake deal with the builtin video/RAM allocation thang? ::mark
