But Ralph, the VIA and AMD mobo's are not prime in the business world. Intel still rules in the corporate environment, and there is no denying the sheer numbers of BX boards in existence. See this: <snip> Supported Hardware: ------------------- IDE: Only the PIIX4 IDE controllers have been found to work. Attached devices must be UDMA/33 compatible or better. Ethernet: Intel 8255x 10/100 ethernet controllers are supported. Video: You must have a VESA 2.0 compliant video card. Almost all modern graphics cards are VESA 2.0 compliant. However, emulators such as vmware do not have VESA 2.0 compliant emulated video cards. Successfully tested hardware: All 440BX motherboards tested have worked with their internal IDE controllers. IBM ThinkPad A21m (with onboard Intel ethernet) Known to not be supported: All AMD and VIA based systems. <!snip> There at the bottom, no AMD or VIA whatsoever. Fine by me I just dug out a 440LX for this adventure.
